NASA and other space agencies work to develop technology that can be used in space for scientific discovery or human exploration. But that technology often finds uses far beyond its original intention ...

Footage from the streets of China captured a scene straight from a science fiction novel – spherical drones alongside patrolling law enforcement. Chinese robotics company, Logon Technology, unveiled ...

Spherical robots comprise a class of mobile systems characterised by a fully enclosed spherical shell that integrates internal actuation mechanisms. Their dynamics are defined by complex nonholonomic ...

Microrobots may become an effective tool in breaking down the dangerous blood vessel blockages that cause strokes. But these ...

NASA's cutting-edge spherical robots, initially devised for exploring Mars and the Moon, have unexpectedly found a new purpose right here on our home planet. Dr. Alice Agogino, a highly regarded ...

If you thought the threat of police robots died with the demise of New York's subway bot, you'd be wrong. A new rolling robot has been sent into the field in China. The spherical crime fighting device ...

China's latest innovation in policing technology has rolled onto the scene, quite literally. The Rotunbot RT-G, developed by Logon Technology, is a spherical robot that's turning heads and chasing ...

In an article published in the journal Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, scientists have successfully replicated collective movements with spherical robots by drawing inspiration from the visual ...

Once the microrobot reached its target, the scientists could use a high-frequency magnetic field to heat the microrobot, dissolving its shell and releasing the medicine inside. This invention was ...

We don't know much about the moon's subsurface environment, but the same was true of the moon's surface in the past. To explore these unseen depths, the European Space Agency is evaluating a spherical ...

The concept of the RoboBall, developed by a team of engineers at Texas A&M University, has the potential to reshape the future of exploration—both on Earth and in space. The spherical robot is ...
