The SecondHands consortium, which includes grocer Ocado, has completed development of the ARMAR-6 humanoid robot for collaborating closely with humans.

COVID-19 knocked the wheels off the economy, but one nascent tech job not only kept rolling, it picked up speed. Teleoperations — or more specifically, teleops for autonomous delivery robots — is still a niche job within an industry that has yet to dive into the deep end of the commercialization poo...

NASA has picked the winners from a challenge that asked the public to improve its Moon digging robot.

Developers are building and testing an opt-in automated system to slow the spread of the coronavirus. But will anyone use it?

Although both AGVs and AMRs allow materials to be moved from point A to point B, the comparison ends there. Here is a breakdown of AGVs vs AMRs.

The program can animate a 2D avatar in real-time from a webcam video stream input and has garnered 3,700 GitHub stars since its release.

The Syrian civil war has been a proving ground for Russian military technology, including a new iteration of the scarab scout robot. Dubbed Scorpion, this remote-controlled vehicle is designed to do everything from locate hidden explosives to climb stairs.

Engineers are building experimental rovers that can vibrate intensely to escape from dangerous, wheel-clogging sand traps on Mars.

Now I just need a robot that helps me dunk

As far as dogs are concerned, social robots have some human-like authority

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Tokyo are showcasing a new composite material with self-healing properties that take cues from lizard tails and starfish arms. MWCNTs-PBS — a composite of polyborosiloxane (PBS) and material multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) — is at the heart ...

The proposed concurrent DRL algorithm enables robots to take a broader and more long-term view of tasks and behaviours.

Sketchfab is enabling multiplayer mode today with a new Sketchfab for Teams feature. The startup lets you share 3D models with other people in your company so that they can view, edit and download models. It could be particularly useful for companies working on augmented reality products, video game...

Ford’s Mustang Mach-E, which is currently available for reservation, will support over-the-air updates from the time it launches. In fact, the automaker expects to roll out its first updates within six months after the crossover EV makes its way to its first customers later this year.

As a recent study indicated, aerial delivery drones aren't always as energy-efficient as ground-based transport. We may therefore be seeing more wheeled delivery robots, such as the rather cool-looking and increasingly in-demand REV-1.

A Stanford student built a robot dog similar to that used in the series 'Black Mirror'. Called Stanford Pupper, the robot has twelve degrees of freedom and can be built with a 3D printer.

Motion picture animation and video games are impressively lifelike nowadays, capturing a wisp of hair falling across a heroine's eyes or a canvas sail snapping crisply in the wind. Collaborators from ...

Carnegie Mellon University is one step closer to operating its robotic rover on the surface of the Moon: The school’s diminutive bot has passed a crucial NASA design review, performed by the agency in collaboration with Astrobotic, whose Peregrine lunar lander will be providing the ride for the robo...

Many older people suffer from isolation, made worse by social distancing in the COVID-19 pandemic. The ElliQ robot, which is in beta testing, could help.

In 2017, researchers from Harvard's Wyss Institute, the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science and Boston University demonstrated a soft robotic exosuit designed to help stroke patients improve their mobility. Now an untethered version of the lightweight ankle-assisting device has...

Refraction AI, founded by University of Michigan researchers, has developed a three-wheeled autonomous vehicle called REV-1 that is providing delivery services from local restaurants in Ann Arbor.

Google and Mount Sinai have teamed up on a custom solution that lets a hospital monitor COVID-19 patients and their vitals with Nest Cams.
