The first walking robot that moves without GPS

Human eyes are insensitive to polarized light and ultraviolet radiation, but that is not the case for ants, who use it to locate themselves in space. Cataglyphis desert ants, in particular, can cover several hundreds of meters in direct sunlight in the desert to find food, then return in a straight line to the nest, without getting lost.

Moving artificial leaves out of the lab and into the air

Artificial leaves mimic photosynthesis -- the process whereby plants use water and carbon dioxide from the air to produce carbohydrates using energy from the sun. But even state-of-the-art artificial leaves, which hold promise in reducing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, only work in the laboratory because they use pure, pressurized carbon dioxide from tanks.

Research robot learn dementia signs through UK soap opera

Edge Hill University's robot, Robbie, has become a soap fan after watching episodes of popular UK drama Emmerdale to learn about dementia. Robbie has watched over 13 episodes of the popular soap featuring the storyline of dementia sufferer Ashley Thomas. He can now spot signs of depression and aggressive behaviour in the hope that robots like him will be able to help people living with the condition.

Gummy-like robots that could help prevent disease

Human tissues experience a variety of mechanical stimuli that can affect their ability to carry out their physiological functions, such as protecting organs from injury. The controlled application of such stimuli to living tissues in vivo and in vitro has now proven instrumental to studying the conditions that lead to disease.
