Here, scientists are busy creating something that, in a few years time, will be hunting us for sport.

Last week, researchers from the Italian Institute of Technology took their quadruped robot HyQ for a test run outside the lab for the first time.

This creation from the University of Tokyo's JSK Lab researchers can withstand a good kick.

Siddhartha Srinivasa, of the Robotics Institute's Personal Robotics Lab, demonstrates how Herb, the Home Exploring Robot Butler, is the closest thing we have to the Jetsons' Rosey the Robot in 2012.

This robot, named ECCEROBOT, possesses artificial analogs of human bones, muscles, and tendons that endow it with human-like motions and - perhaps someday - will imbue it with human-like intelligence.

An Ikea-like robotics revolution could see DIY devices being built for a wide range of functions, scientists predict.

Researchers in the US have launched a project aimed at developing desk-top technology that will make household robots as commonplace as flatpack furniture.

The key to the process is 3-D printing, the automated manufacture of plastic and metal machine components from a set of instructions.

Boston Dynamics and DARPA have just released video of their prototype "Cheetah" robot galloping at 18mph (nearly 30kph), setting a new land speed record for legged robots.

The previous record was 13.1mph, set in 1989.

No-holds barred robot sporting action!

Canadian boffins have created the first autonomous humanoid robot ice hockey player.

The universal jamming gripper has a dead aim.
