Researchers from MIT have created prototype assembly robots called BILL-E (Bipedal Isotropic Lattice Locomoting Explorer) that can build small structures on their own or work together to create bigger ones.

A human-sized robot has been equipped with 1,260 cells to create what is claimed to be the first autonomous humanoid robot with artificial skin covering its entire body.

Panasonic's powered exoskeleton will be used by loaders and spotters at World Para Powerlifting (WPPO) events and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

Boston Dynamics’ nimble dog-like Spot robot is finally on sale as we are offered another spectacular look at the humanoid Atlas’ growing arsenal of skills.

American scientists have created a "Tunabot," that they claim can match the swimming speed of an actual tuna.

With a few exceptions, robots aren't known for having a soft touch – that may be about to change, however, thanks to a new shock-absorbing gripper.

Starship Technologies food delivery robots are now taking to the grounds of Purdue University, where they will serve their largest customer base to date.

A new Hyundai assistive exoskeleton focuses on those tending to overhead tasks.

It was a couple of years ago that we first heard about the ANYmal, a quadruped robot made by ANYbotics. Now, the Swiss company has announced the ANYmal C.

If you build a soft robot, you don't want to put rigid actuators inside. With that in mind, scientists have created pliable artificial muscles.

​Wearable mobility robots can be big and heavy, but they have the potential to help those who can't move to walk again or make light work of heavy objects. Harvard's Wyss Institute has revealed a soft exosuit that's lightweight and portable, and can provide both walking and running assistance.​

​We've already seen several dog-like quadruped robots, which move by walking with their four backward-bending legs. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University are now getting in on the act, with their artificially-intelligent (and dog-headed) Astro robot.
