In an astonishing blend of robotics and nature, SMEO—a robot rat designed by researchers in China and Germany — is fooling real rats into treating it like one of their own. What sets SMEO apart is its ...

This robot was designed with the same basic senses and motor skills as a rat pup. Robots that act like rat pups can tell us something about the behavior of both, according to UC Davis researchers.

A team of roboticists at the Beijing Institute of Technology, working with a pair of colleagues from the Technical University of Munich, has created a new kind of rat robot—one that was designed to ...

Roboticists from the Beijing Institute of Technology and scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a rat robot that has been trained with artificial intelligence (AI) to ...

London: British scientists have developed a robot rat, which they claim can seek out and identify objects using its whiskers. A team from the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and the University of ...
