Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have combined tissues from a sea slug with flexible 3-D printed components to build “biohybrid” robots that crawl like sea turtles on the beach. A muscle ...

Around the world, animal-like robots are being built to help society. Here at OHIO, one Russ College of Engineering and ...

One of the largest migrations on Earth happens in the dark ocean every night, as tiny jelly-like organisms work together to emerge from the deep sea to the surface. Biologists think the ocean ...

A muscle from the slug's mouth helps the robot move, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. Future iterations of the device will include ganglia – bundles of neurons and nerves ...

Off the coast of American Samoa, an active underwater volcano towers above the seafloor, its upper crater the site of a four-year eruption. Following the formation of a 1,000-foot lava cone between ...

Robots, the team argues, can mimic these abilities using a quantum magnetometer (which detects magnetic field direction).

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that ...

Robots could soon be able to autonomously complete search and rescue missions, inspections, complex maintenance operations and various other real-world tasks. To do this, however, they should be able ...

Using an underwater robot launched from the research vessel Nautilus, an underwater volcano in American Samoa was explored. Ocean Exploration Trust Off the coast of American Samoa, an active ...
