A "necrobotic" gripper is fashioned from a dead spider and used to lift objects. [1] Necrobotics is the practice of using biotic materials (or dead organisms) as robotic components. [1] In July 2022, researchers in the Preston Innovation Lab at Rice University in Houston, Texas published a paper in Advanced Science introducing the concept and ...
Maurice emerges from Spider's chamber carrying the body of Dangerous Beans. When he is safely out, he collapses and dies. In ghostly form, he sees the Death of Rats coming for Dangerous Beans and makes a deal with Death: two of his remaining lives in exchange for both his life and the albino rat's. The rats corral all the keekees and block ...
The arachno-bot’s name originates from the distinct shape of the robot, as its 8 legs resemble a spider’s. Each leg consists of a spider-inspired electro-hydraulic soft-actuated joint (S.E.S) which is the core of an arachno-bot. The S.E.S enables the arachno-bot to perform functions other robots can’t do, such as crawl, climb, and jump.
Research on turning dead spiders into robot-claws called “necrobots” and a “smart” toilet innovation to identify a person from their “analprint” are among this year’s Ig Nobel prize ...

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to robotics: Robotics is a branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
A self-replicating machine is a type of autonomous robot that is capable of reproducing itself autonomously using raw materials found in the environment, thus exhibiting self-replication in a way analogous to that found in nature. [1][2][3] The concept of self-replicating machines has been advanced and examined by Homer Jacobson, Edward F ...
On the right is a test rover for the Mars Science Laboratory, which landed Curiosity on Mars in 2012. Robotics is the interdisciplinary study and practice of the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. [1] Within mechanical engineering, robotics is the design and construction of the physical structures of robots, while in computer ...
