Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use a slew of autonomous robots to design and ...

Scientists are building autonomous robotic labs powered by artificial intelligence. The goal, they say, is for these robots to take over human researchers' most laborious, time-consuming tasks.

Robots and AI are running experiments around the clock, from battery chemistry to cancer therapies. But can they be trusted ...

Japan just cracked the code on 24/7 medical research. Ten robots at Tokyo University of Science’s new Robotics Innovation Center handle complex experiments while human researchers sleep at home. This ...

Researchers have developed a digital laboratory (dLab) system that fully automates the material synthesis and structural, physical property evaluation of thin-film samples. With dLab, the team can ...

Researchers may be able to start running experiments without ever setting foot in a lab. New technology, including artificial intelligence, is increasingly allowing them to delegate all kinds of tasks ...

A robot showed basic signs of self-consciousness in an experiment that required the robot to hear its own voice and reason. Three Nao robots were programmed to understand the rules of a simple task.

This research presents the design of a quadrupedal robot capable of climbing rough surfaces. The robot’s shape, body, arms, and locomotion mechanism were inspired by the gecko, while its limbs were ...
