Startup Clone Robotics has created an ultra-creepy humanoid torso with artificial muscles that are activated through a battery-powered hydraulic system and covered in ghostly-white "skin." When you ...

Robots like 'Courtney' and 'Esther', conspicuous for their blinking LED "eyes" and compact, cooler-like frames, have quietly settled into the daily rhythms of Atlanta's Midtown neighborhoods.

New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables ...
