Every year, students in Charleston learn how to build robots that swim underwater. Their toolkit includes PVC pipes, wires, and small motors to craft gadgets that can navigate pools and race against other schools. The program started small but now has three times as many participants as it did a few
The Segway Navimow X430 isn’t just another robot vacuum with wheels—it’s a 64-pound machine that looks like it escaped a sci-fi movie set.

Disney parks have always mixed technology with entertainment—think animatronic singers and gravity-defying roller coasters. Now, a marble-carving robot is joining the team. Unlike the flashy rides guests remember, this robot works quietly in the background. It roughs out large statues from big block
Soft robots and wearable gadgets need parts that bend easily, work well, and stay strong when they get hit or stretched. Scientists have made polymers that can fix themselves after a break, but the sensors that let them sense touch or pressure often stay damaged. A new idea called “self‑healing and
Human and artificial intelligence teams are now stepping into real‑world, high‑stakes jobs. Yet the research on how they work together is scattered across many fields and uses different ideas, making it hard to build a clear picture. Because of this split, we struggle to link what we know about h
A new Chinese company has announced a huge robotic suit that can be piloted by a human. The machine is almost three metres tall and can move on two legs or switch to four legs for rough ground. The pilot sits in a cockpit inside the torso and controls it from there. The robot is called the GD01 and
