Collaboration in an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Northwestern University and Temple University led to development of a robot inspired by sea turtle hatchlings. Named FlipperBot, the robot is being developed for better understanding of principles that govern movement using flippers – thus leading to more efficient robots that… »

Researchers at Oregon State University have made an advance in robotics by improving the robots movement. The robots can walk and run effectively, while they use little energy in the process as well. By achieving an optimal approach with robotic mechanisms, studies are moving closer to creating better robots and prosthetic limbs for humans that… »
