Robotic ‘spiders’ could be the key to building large-scale structures in space, according to ESA’s Advanced Concepts Team. The tiny mechanical spiders would inch their way across large nets of fabric ...

A spider-like construction robot designed in Australia is edging toward a role that once belonged only in science fiction: assembling the first permanent structures on the Moon. Instead of astronauts ...

The robot zoo has gained another member. Engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a small robot spider that can passively shapeshift, allowing it to squeeze through narrow spaces ...

Robots are cool, so check out [Atlin Anderson]’s Spiderbot (video, embedded below) which can be made with 3D printed parts, hobby servos, and ESP32-CAM module for control and a first-person view.

Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...

In October 2025, a Facebook post (archived) about an unusual finding spread across the platform. According to the post, scientists discovered robotic micro spiders from the comet 3I/ATLAS in ...

The BMSRs are manipulated by a 6-DOF robotic arm to generate rotating magnetic fields. They can crawl on inclined surfaces (including upside-down motion) and navigate the GI tract with endoscopic ...
