Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

If a robot is trying to traverse rugged, irregular terrain, it's limited by having just one body shape. The Tetraflex robot was designed with this fact in mind, as it can change shape to adopt ...

(Nanowerk News) Biologically inspired robotics aims to replicate the extraordinary versatility found in nature. Chameleons alter skin pigmentation to camouflage against predators. Birds morph wings ...

Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape. These mighty morphing robots are made of trusses composed of hundreds of ...

Coming to a tight spot near you: CLARI, the little, squishable robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps—with a bit of inspiration from the world of bugs. CLARI, which ...

Researchers at Intel and Carnegie-Mellon University are using distributed computing and robotics to make shape-shifting robots a reality. Imagine a day when you can make your cell phone smaller to fit ...

A spider-inspired robot called mCLARI weighs less than a gram and could one day be deployed to aid first responders following a natural disaster or help out in surgery. When you purchase through links ...

YOLO can mean many things, but in the context of [be_riddickulous]’s AI Talking Robot Dinosaur it refers to the “You Only Look Once” YOLOv11 object-detection algorithm by Ultralytics, the method by ...
