The question may be the 21st century鈥檚 version of the fable of the tortoise and the hare: Who would win in a foot race between a robot and an animal? In a new perspective article, a team of engineers from the United States and Canada, including CU Boulder roboticist Kaushik...

William Xie, a first-year PhD student in computer science, is teaching a robot to reason how gently it should grasp previously unknown objects by using large language models (LLMs). DeliGrasp , Xie's project, is an intriguing step beyond the custom, piecemeal solutions currently used to avoid pinching or crushing novel...

Kaushik Jayaram's bioinspired robotics are on the cover of the latest issue of the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems. The article, "Design of CLARI: A Miniature Modular Origami Passive Shape-Morphing Robot," discusses the design and creation of Jayaram's compliant legged articulated robotic insect. Jayaram is an assistant professor in the Robotics...

Assistant Professor Nicole Xu recently spoke with Nature for a feature about biohybrid robots and their real-world applications. Xu and her collaborators have been working on a jellyfish-inspired robot that can help monitor climate change and ecological shifts in the Earth's oceans. "Jellyfish have a number of appealing characteristics for...

When engineers in the robotics research community think of what we'd like autonomous agents to tackle in the future, we often target "dull, dirty, and dangerous" tasks. However, despite a sustained boom in robotics research over the last decade, the number of places we've seen robotics in use for these...

In August, the California Public Utilities Commission made history when it voted to allow two self-driving car companies, Waymo and Cruise, to commercially operate their 鈥渞obotaxis鈥� around the clock in San Francisco. Within hours, Cruise reported at least 10 incidents where vehicles stopped short of their destination, blocking city streets...

One thousand feet underground, a four-legged creature scavenges through tunnels in pitch darkness. With vision that cuts through the blackness, it explores a spider web of paths, remembering its every step and navigating with precision. The sound of its movements echo eerily off the walls, but it is not to...

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram鈥檚 Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory recently won the IROS Best Paper Award on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics , rising above around 3,000 other academic papers that were submitted to the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Along with Jayaram as the PI...

The 乐播传媒 Boulder has started a graduate engineering program in robotics to fill a growing need in an in-demand field. The CU Regents have approved new Master of Science and PhD degree options in robotics that will...

Kaushik Jayaram's bug-inspired robots are being spotlighted by the Boulder Daily Camera. An assistant professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Robotics Program, Jayaram is an expert in bioinspired robotics and biomechanics. He is the creator of CLARI - Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect. The...
