This is Delta, a deformable multirotor robot developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo that can both fly and roll using its flexible body design. It uses a thrust control system to move efficiently in the air and on the ground, allowing it to adapt to different environments. This capability makes it useful for tasks like disaster response and long-duration operations, introduced in 2024.

Researchers at Duke University developed Argus, a spherical robot with 20 legs and 20 eye-like sensors that can see and move in any direction. Using a concept called dynamic symmetry, it stays balanced and agile while traveling across rough terrain and climbing obstacles. The robot can also track objects and keep working even if some of its legs or sensors fail, making it useful for exploring dangerous environments and other planets.

A robot with wheels and legs! 🦿 Wheeled mobile robots are popular in many fields because they are stable, efficient, and simple to build. However, they often occupy more space than humans and struggle to navigate crowded hallways, ramps, or elevators. 🛗 To address this, a robot developed at the Korea University of Technology and Education combines legs for extra support and mecanum wheels for smooth, all-directional movement. It has a slim, human-like design with four wheel-leg mechanisms, each using a special 2-DOF leg and a mecanum wheel. A unique mechanism keeps the wheels steady while the legs move, helping the robot stay agile and absorb shocks. The design also reduces strain on the motors, making it more efficient. Tests showed that the robot could move quickly, climb steps, and navigate elevators with people. Research paper in the comments! 🗞️ ~~~ ♻️ R to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen have developed a snail-like robotic swarm that can connect to form larger structures. These robots use a two-mode adhesive system inspired by land snails, allowing both movement and strong connections. They introduced this system in 2024, and tests show it can travel on rough terrain, climb obstacles, and combine to handle more complex tasks.

This isn’t a coffee-fetching robot — it’s a life-saving robot. Developed at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, this robot dog is designed to help medics in emergencies too dangerous for humans. It can see in the dark, pick up sounds and even be pet. But even its creators admit: it’s intimidating to many humans— and they’re still working on making it feel more approachable. Tony Dokoupil got a firsthand look.

A robot that picks up scattered items has been created in the US Stringman is attached to the ceiling by cables and can move around the entire room. It recognizes objects on the floor, picks them up and puts them in predetermined places. If the robot needs help, it can be controlled manually with a gamepad. The device is already on sale for around $965.
