Scientists apparently underestimated the aggression of itty-bitty male fiddler crabs when they deployed a friendly robot version during mating season. In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, animal behavior researchers from the UK’s University of Exeter detailed the embarrassing end to their experiment with “Wavy Dave,” a 3D-printed, Bluetooth-controlled crab-bot trained to wave at its …

DJI’s obstacle avoidance system could be just as useful on land as it is in the air. DJI, known for its dominance in the drone market, has entered the smart home world with a range of robot vacuums called ROMO. Beyond its drones, gimbals and action cameras, the Chinese company previously branched out into other product categories, including portable power …

A four-legged robot tested under simulated Martian gravity jumps from wall to wall in a new video, demonstrating how future explorers could navigate terrain too challenging for today’s rovers. Designed for use in low-gravity environments like on the moon and Mars, the four-legged robot, named Olympus, uses “double” limbs with jointed knees and paw-like feet for agile movement. At the …

Wavy Dave the robot crustacean has been showing scientists how male fiddler crabs respond when they see a fellow crab waving. Famous for their enormous claws, the team made Wavy Dave blend in by giving him a huge claw of his own, only for it to get ripped off by a male crab. Before he was struck down, Wavy Dave’s …

During a Chinese music festival, a humanoid robot named “Adam” graced the stage in what was half performance art and half marketing stunt — and did so while semi-disguised in a loose-fitting hoodie that did a terrible job obscuring its mechanical legs and hands that made it very clear that it was, indeed, a robot. As spotted by New Atlas, Adam the …

Should robots be able to cannibalize each other so they can accelerate their evolution, bringing them closer to resembling self-sufficient lifeforms capable of living independently of their human masters? Good news if your answer to that question is “yes”: a team of researchers from Columbia University have built a robot that can seek out and merge with other robots to …
