Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

Most robot headlines follow a familiar script: a machine masters one narrow trick in a controlled lab, then comes the bold promise that everything is about to change. I usually tune those stories out.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a severe disease that occurs when a vein in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye (i.e., the retina) becomes blocked, which results in a loss of vision.

Scientists are building autonomous robotic labs powered by artificial intelligence. The goal, they say, is for these robots ...

Yen-Ling Kuo always wanted to understand how things worked. When she was growing up in Taiwan, reading the story of Michael ...

Twenty-two students gathered at Northeastern State University this week for the third Robotics for Young Scientists and Engineers summer academy. The hands-on summer Science, Technology, Engineering, ...

Spinal cord injuries are life-altering, often leaving individuals with severe mobility impairments. While rehabilitation robotics—devices that guide movement during therapy—have improved training for ...

Most robots are built to look like something. Engineers designing machines to navigate the real world have, for decades, reached for the same reference points: the human skeleton, the dog's ...
