Gecko feet have long been a source of inspiration to scientists striving to make superstrong, reusable adhesives. Now researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have found a new way to make such an adhesive grip and release as
required, using...

For years, materials scientists have been trying to catch up with geckos. Adhesives that, like gecko feet, are dry, powerful, reusable, and self-cleaning could help robots climb walls or hold together electrical components, even in the harsh...

Computers, long used as tools to design and manipulate
three-dimensional objects, may soon provide people with a way to sense the
texture of those objects or feel how they fit together, thanks to a haptic, or
touch-based,...

Robots come in all shapes and sizes — but one that looks like a spider and
walks on water? That's exactly what Carnegie Mellon researchers have developed
in the university's

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with scientists
at NASA's Ames Research Center, have built a low-cost robotic device that
enables any digital camera to produce breathtaking gigapixel (billions of
pixels)...

To make the resulting image appear as realistic as possible, the system
analyzes the original photo to estimate the camera angle and lighting
conditions, and then looks in the clip art library for an object — a car, for
instance — that...

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new
series of robots that are simple enough for almost anyone to build with
off-the-shelf parts, but are sophisticated machines that wirelessly connect to
the Internet. The robots can...

Scientists return this week to the world's deepest known sinkhole, Cenote
Zacatón in Mexico, to resume tests of a NASA-funded robot called DEPTHX,
designed to survey and explore for life in one of Earth's most extreme regions
and potentially...
