The Shonkbot is what the team at Bristol Hackspace came up with for a robot that is obvious in its working and encouragingly easy to build, even for kids (with supervision).

Build your own Palm robot -- it's easy Researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute offer a do-it-yourself kit and online instructions -- in 15 steps, you've got a Palm Pilot robot.

Ever wanted to build a robot? Trick question. Everybody wants to build a robot. Since the dawn of man, it’s been our mission to create untethered beauty and then immediately subjugate it to our ...

New research shows that microscale robots can be made from shape shifting 2D sheets. Itai Cohen and Itay Griniasty of Cornell University in the US have developed a mathematical technique for encoding ...

Building robots motivated to create the “greatest good for the greatest number”, or to “treat others as you would wish to be treated” would be safer than laying down simplistic rules.

The computer scientist Christoph Salge is trying to circumvent the need for rules that guide robots’ behavior. His strategy: Give them a goal of making us more powerful.

Assembling a future robot could be as simple as heating it up. Two new studies demonstrate how 3D-printed robots could fold into shape and assemble themselves after being exposed to heat.
