From R2-D2 to Optimus Prime, Wall-E to The Iron Giant, robots have long captured our collective imaginations. In today’s world, their influence is far less limited to fictional settings; robotics are ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

We all love combat robotics for its creative problem solving; trying to fit drivetrains and weapon systems in a small and light package is never as simple as it appears to be. When you get to the real ...

Robotics is a fascinating field that has come a long way in recent years. What was once cutting-edge and prohibitively expensive for consumer-grade projects has rapidly become accessible to the hobby ...

That was the question Nick Morales (MSR '23) asked himself in April when he and his classmates from Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program presented their robotics ...

What if your childhood Tamagotchi could step off the screen and into the real world? Imagine a tiny robot, complete with blinking eyes and lifelike movements, responding to your voice and following ...

The Northwestern University Robotics Club (NURC) is an undergraduate student group dedicated to creating a community of students interested in robotics and dedicated to creating and learning together.

Alphabet previously killed a robotics project called Everyday Robots. Now it's saying goodbye to another one: an exoskeleton project called Skip.
