A simple form of machine self-replication. 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.
EcoBot or Eco-Bot is short for ecological robot, and it refers to a class of robots that can remain self-sustainable by collecting their energy from material, mostly waste matter, in the environment. The only by-product from this process is carbon dioxide , which would have been produced from the natural biodegradation of the fuel regardless.
Two u-CAT robots that are being developed at the Tallinn University of Technology to reduce the cost of underwater archaeological operations. Bio-inspired robotic locomotion is a subcategory of bio-inspired design. It is about learning concepts from nature and applying them to the design of real-world engineered systems.
The material contracts and expands when in contact with electricity, just like human muscles This futuristic muscle material could make robots more human Skip to main content
Robot Shalu is a homemade social and educational humanoid robot [1] [2] developed by Dinesh Kunwar Patel, [3] [4] an Indian Kendriya Vidyalaya Computer Science teacher from Mumbai. [5] [6] It was built using waste materials [7] [8] and can speak 47 languages, including 9 Indian and 38 foreign languages.
In a study published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, scientists found that the glue performed 10 times better than other commercial adhesives when used to bond polished aluminum.
[citation needed] These nano-robot swarms, both those unable to replicate (as in utility fog) and those able to replicate unconstrained in the natural environment (as in grey goo and synthetic biology), are found in many science fiction stories, such as the Borg nano-probes in Star Trek and The Outer Limits episode "The New Breed".
Octobot is a proof of concept soft-bodied autonomous robot. [1] The project team included Harvard University faculty members Robert Wood and Jennifer A. Lewis, along with researchers with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, 3D printing, microfluidics, and robotics. [2] [3] Octobot was described in the journal Nature in 2016. [4]
