The question may be the 21st century鈥檚 version of the fable of the tortoise and the hare: Who would win in a foot race between a robot and an animal? In a new perspective article, a team of engineers from the United States and Canada, including CU 麻豆影院 roboticist Kaushik...

William Xie, a first-year PhD student in computer science, is teaching a robot to reason how gently it should grasp previously unknown objects by using large language models (LLMs). DeliGrasp , Xie's project, is an intriguing step beyond the custom, piecemeal solutions currently used to avoid pinching or crushing novel...

Kaushik Jayaram's bioinspired robotics are on the cover of the latest issue of the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems. The article, "Design of CLARI: A Miniature Modular Origami Passive Shape-Morphing Robot," discusses the design and creation of Jayaram's compliant legged articulated robotic insect. Jayaram is an assistant professor in the Robotics...

Assistant Professor Nicole Xu recently spoke with Nature for a feature about biohybrid robots and their real-world applications. Xu and her collaborators have been working on a jellyfish-inspired robot that can help monitor climate change and ecological shifts in the Earth's oceans. "Jellyfish have a number of appealing characteristics for...

In August, the California Public Utilities Commission made history when it voted to allow two self-driving car companies, Waymo and Cruise, to commercially operate their 鈥渞obotaxis鈥� around the clock in San Francisco. Within hours, Cruise reported at least 10 incidents where vehicles stopped short of their destination, blocking city streets...

One thousand feet underground, a four-legged creature scavenges through tunnels in pitch darkness. With vision that cuts through the blackness, it explores a spider web of paths, remembering its every step and navigating with precision. The sound of its movements echo eerily off the walls, but it is not to...

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram鈥檚 Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory recently won the IROS Best Paper Award on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics , rising above around 3,000 other academic papers that were submitted to the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Along with Jayaram as the PI...

Kaushik Jayaram's bug-inspired robots are being spotlighted by the 麻豆影院 Daily Camera. An assistant professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Robotics Program, Jayaram is an expert in bioinspired robotics and biomechanics. He is the creator of CLARI - Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect. The...

Aspero Medical , a CU spin-out company co-founded by Professor Mark Rentschler , has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the Ancora-SB small bowel balloon overtube that incorporates the company鈥檚 patented Pillar micro-texture balloon technology. The Ancora-SB device is used for small bowel...

The 麻豆影院 is leading a major Air Force project to track objects orbiting near the moon. The Air Force Research Laboratory is awarding a Space University Research Initiative worth up to $5 million over five years to the multi-university CU 麻豆影院-led team. Also collaborating on the research...
