In a move that inches us just a little closer to the singularity, engineers have developed robots that can grow, self-repair, and morph by absorbing parts from other robots. They can also help their ...

If you drive to work every day, odds are there's a pothole along your commute that's been irking you for months or even years. If road workers can't get around to fixing it, maybe robots will.

We have seen robots do some incredible things, right? However, the physical structures sometimes limit the movement of robots. The robotic bodies are rigid and totally reliant on humans for fixes.

Today's robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their environment. Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots ...

Flying robots from AITHON Robotics are transforming infrastructure maintenance by performing high-risk repairs on bridges, tunnels, and dams.

Fixing underground water pipes usually means digging up roads and sidewalks — a process that's disruptive and expensive. However, researchers at the University of Sheffield in the U.K. are working on ...

Can robots become self-sustaining by consuming other objects? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of almost two dozen researchers investigated physical ...
