If you’re unfamiliar with the term, GPS Waypoint Navigation is the ability to provide a robot with a set of GPS waypoints (i.e., a set of latitude / longitude pairs), and have the robot autonomously navigate from its current location to each of the defined waypoints.

A new study uses an established AI-based drug discovery pipeline to produce molecular structures as part of the fight against COVID-2019.

Many drones already utilize ultrasound to detect individual obstacles lying directly in their path. A proposed new drone system, however, would use sound to determine where all of the walls are within a room – providing guidance when vision- or light-based systems could not.

The farmers also use technology to help reduce the carbon footprint of cows.

When we first caught a glimpse of this ball juggling platform, we were instantly hooked by its appearance. With its machined metal linkages and clear polycarbonate platform, its got an irresistibly…

By observing humans, robots learn to perform complex tasks, such as setting a table.

Researchers at one of China's top universities have designed a robot they say could help save lives on the frontline during the coronavirus outbreak.

You’ve no doubt heard about the three Ds of automation. Somatic’s robot handily qualifies for two. I’d say “dangerous” is probably a bit of a stretch here, but the robot is well-focused on replacing a job that’s generally regarded as both “dirty” and “dull.” The startup, which is ostensibly based in...

CookGAN uses an attention-based ingredients-image association model to condition a GNN tasked with synthesizing realistic meal images.

The thunk-whumma-whumpa-whuppa sound of a tire puncturing and losing pressure at freeway speeds is unmistakable. However, if Goodyear has its way humanity might...

The assumption was that other drone manufacturers such as Autel Robotics would have been impacted as well and that the Autel EVO II might be delayed. 

No, it’s not the kind of honeycomb you’re probably thinking of. We’re talking about the lightweight panels commonly used in aerospace applications. Apparently they’re rather…

This is the robot your kid or inner kid wants.

Octopus-inspired robot can grip, move, and manipulate a wide range of objects

Researchers in Europe and the UK have managed to connect biological and artificial neurons together – and allow them to communicate long distances through the internet. The biological neurons were grown in one country, sent signals through an artificial synapse located in another to electronic neuro...

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. SXSW 2020 has not been canceled and will start as planned in just a couple of weeks. However, the show will lack some soc...

There's no question that robots will play an increasingly central role in our lives in the future, but to get to a stage where they can be genuinely useful ther...

When they came out last year, the Bose Frames were an interesting, albeit unfinished showcase of what a company could do by fusing together smartglasses and hea...

Up to this point, no attacks had been discovered targeting a car’s LiDAR system—but a major new finding from researchers at the University of Michigan has demonstrated what that might look like.

Some of today’s EVs can handle long-distance treks. Others are designed more for short daily drives and wouldn’t be all that convenient to take on a road trip. A French startup wants to […]

New Scientist went to meet a robot programmed to mimic obsessive-compulsive disorder to find out what it could teach us about the condition

AI meets Logistics - When we get robots into the warehouses then we know times are changing. Take a look at Handle - it is a mobile manipulation robot designed for logistics from BostonDynamix. Handle autonomously performs mixed SKU pallet building and depalletizing after initialization and localizi...

YITU “Coronavirus Chest CT Smart Evaluation System” can compress the diagnosis of suspected cases to 2–3 seconds.

KIT Team Develops Printable Organic Photodiodes that Can Distinguish Wavelengths and, Hence, Enable Data Transmission by Light.
