Dr Christos Ioannou at the University of Bristol has been awarded a five year research fellowship by NERC for the study of predator-prey relationships, using robotic prey to lure predatory fish.
The summer waters that fill Puget Sound often attract more than just swimmers and recreational boaters: The warmer than usual currents can encourage widespread toxic algae and bacteria growths throughout the sound.
Astronauts could one day get a power surge from hi-tech robotic suits, like real-life versions of "Iron Man" hero Tony Stark.
The world of autonomous electric vehicles as a form of mass transportation is something we’ve mostly seen in science fiction movies to date.
Most unmanned aerial vehicles are intended for government use.
They can build some amazing stuff, from chairs to artwork seemingly suspended in mid air. But the average user has to build a robotic printer themselves if they want to use one.

We’ve all been forced at some point to order a cup of coffee from a shoddy vending machine. But thanks to a company called Briggo, and the design talents of Fuseproject, your automated caffeine fix might become as precisely crafted ....
This week, robots and the people who love them gathered at the AUVSI's annual Unmanned Vehicles conference in Washington, D.C.'s downtown convention center.
The collision of art and technology takes many forms. One recurring, especially straightforward one is a robot with a paintbrush.
A $38,000 piece of Styrofoam, a pop-up drone-in-a-can, and more!
Hello, TailBot!
This movie shows some unique feature of STAR (Sprawl Tuned Autonomous Robot).
Imagine being told to head out into the wild and photograph lions — from a foot away. You might just soil your dungarees. But a pair of new robotic assistants, currently at work for National Geographic, are taking the lion's share ....
THE pearly white humanoid watches placidly as the woman moves a toy brick sitting on the table. Inside, iCub's imagination is running wild.
Princeton researchers, using a 3-D printer, have built a bionic ear with integrated electronics.
A side effect of bringing a giant robot to a well-attended conference is that people notice. After the WIRED Mech debuted, it went wide.
Over the weekend, robot kind took its first small step into the great beyond. Kirobo, a little tiny walking talking robot, was part of the payload sent up to the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday.
Students at UC Berkeley might need to clean their dorm rooms more often, because their latest robotic creation is based on a pretty creepy insect ability.
We've all seen those commercials from multinational companies like IBM touting the next tech breakthrough, and Monsanto promoting some new biotech development.
Soon to be officially proposed by DARPA (or the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, for the uninitiated), Project Hydra will be a drone-launching unmanned submarine.
Convergence, like the stars aligning in the clear night sky, is a momentous event in the tech industry. The world of cybernetics just had such a moment.
Don't be surprised to see a few of these inching their way along cables above your head soon.
