The concept of the RoboBall, developed by a team of engineers at Texas A&M University, has the potential to reshape the future of exploration—both on Earth and in space. The spherical robot is ...

We don't know much about the moon's subsurface environment, but the same was true of the moon's surface in the past. To explore these unseen depths, the European Space Agency is evaluating a spherical ...

NASA's cutting-edge spherical robots, initially devised for exploring Mars and the Moon, have unexpectedly found a new purpose right here on our home planet. Dr. Alice Agogino, a highly regarded ...

Spherical robots comprise a class of mobile systems characterised by a fully enclosed spherical shell that integrates internal actuation mechanisms. Their dynamics are defined by complex nonholonomic ...

NASA and other space agencies work to develop technology that can be used in space for scientific discovery or human exploration. But that technology often finds uses far beyond its original intention ...

Spherical mobile robots represent a versatile class of autonomous systems that encapsulate the mechanical advantages of a sealed, omnidirectional shell with innovative internal actuation mechanisms.

In Eastern China, police are now patrolling the streets with a rolling robot that can chase down suspects — and, they say, beat them in a fight. Named the “Rotunbot” or “RT-G” for short, this ...
