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

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 ...

A $2,500 pair of humanoid robot legs built from 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelf components is not going to win marathons just yet. But such relatively inexpensive hardware could enable researchers ...

Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

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 ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

For about a decade, researchers in the Personal Robotics Lab at the University of Washington have been working to build a robot that can help feed people who can't eat on their own. Researchers' first ...

When 3-year-old Cameron arrived at the UC Davis MIND Institute for a recent medical appointment, she was in for a surprise: ...
