  • Huggable Robot Interface

    The Huggable companion robot from MIT is designed to be much more than a fun interactive robotic companion. It is designed to function as a team member that is an essential member of a triadic interaction. Therefore, the Huggable is not designed to replace any particular person in a social network, but...

  • Researching the Robotic Leg

    Using servo motors, magnetic encoders for monitoring and differential force on springs to create torque, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are creating robotic legs that can walk, run, jump; something we don't even think about when we do these activities. Have a story suggestion? Want to...

  • The Accident Lab

    If you wanted to cause an injury to see how to fix it, using people as subjects might be a bit dicey on the ethics front. Brian Davis, Ph.D., of the Cleveland Clinic takes us to the Accident Lab where they tear robotic ACLs. Have a story suggestion? Want to be featured on Engineering TV? Send us a tip...
