While there are many advantages to automating certain workflows in the lab, a lot of thought must be put into when and where automation can be best used

Robots and prosthetics are becoming ever more human-like, but the electronic skins designed to enhance their usefulness don't yet have the full range of tactile senses that we have

Laboratory automation enhances productivity and safety, while minimizing costs and errors.

One difficulty in nanorobot design is to make nanostructures sense and respond to the environment

The technique would be used in a recording method known as patch-clamping, in which a tiny liquid-filled glass pipette is connected to individual neurons

Powered by a chemical reaction controlled by microfluidics, 3D-printed ‘octobot’ has no electronics

A team of scientists and engineers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley  took are on a mission to test updated versions of a robotic float used to measure carbon dynamics in the ocean

Robotics can be competitive with human labor in some cases already, and falling costs over the next decade will open up more applications, says Lux Research

Long-term NSF support for Harvard University researchers helps develop unique flying micro-robots

“How does it ‘feel’ to interact behaviorally with a machine?” To answer that question, scientists created a virtual partner that can elicit emotional responses from its human partner in real-time.
