Hankook's R&D department has been working with biorobotics experts from Seoul National University and Harvard engineers on a weird transforming origami wheel project. These folding oddities can drastically alter their diameter and carry heavy loads.

Fish have a sensory system known as the lateral line, which allows them to detect movements and pressure gradients in the water. Scientists have now given a robotic fish its own version of that system, letting it determine the best swimming speed.

The Sun is a great source of energy, but of course those rays can be damaging as well. Engineers in Korea have now developed a new way to make perovskite solar cells to protect them from the elements without reducing their efficiency.

Researchers have developed a new springing mechanism for robots that enables them to jump many times their own height at just the right time, a technology they have demonstrated in their so-called JumpRoACH leaping micro-bot.

As strange as it sounds, the future of skin care could involve tiny robots powered by changes in humidity. This week, a group of researchers shared their research into creating such devices, inspired by the slow motions of plants.

Researchers have created an insect-inspired robot that can exert 16 times its body weight on the water's surface and jump off of it.

A team of scientists and engineers have used graphene just one atom thick mounted on a microchip, to create what they claim is the world's thinnest incandescent light-bulb

Mood Map is an art exhibit created by New York-based E/B Office that visualizes the mood of the South Korean people by analyzing their tweets.

A Korean household robot prepared a salad at Robot World 2012.

Researchers from MIT, Harvard University and Seoul National University have developed a robotic earthworm called Meshworm that moves using peristalsis.
