Engineers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a walking robot/flying drone hybrid that reportedly can perform complex locomotion tasks beyond “simple walking and flying.” ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

Most robots have one means of locomotion—they might roll, fly, walk, or even swim. Rarely do they do more than one, though. Engineers at Caltech's Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST) ...

Leonardo, a newly-developed robot with the ability to fly and walk, is tested at Caltech. Researchers believe the machine could someday be used to traverse difficult landscapes on earth or other on ...

Robots are slowly getting smarter, mostly thanks to advances in artificial intelligence that enable them to learn on their own rather than requiring constant human guidance. But despite being able to ...

In research centers around the world, roboticists have for decades been on a quest to perfect bipedal locomotion in machines. They’re making progress, but for all the flashy shots of back-flipping, ...
