Canadian marine technology company Kraken Robotics has secured $11 million of new contracts since the start of the year.The work…
Mitsubishi Electric has partnered with the UK robotic software specialist Extend Robotics to allow robots to be controlled remotely using off-the-shelf...
With advancements in technology speeding up how humans communicate with each other, slower methods of communication, like letter writing, have been losing popularity. But two Arizona-based projects have created new approaches to the personalization of letter writing. One uses robots while another en...
Researchers introduced an advanced multisensory interface in Actuators journal, enhancing robot-assisted pouring tasks with detailed sensory feedback while managing high visual demands. Their optimization method identified the most effective combination of feedback modalities, maximizing perception ...
WiBotic unveiled a new, larger 1kW charger, expanding its portfolio to provide wireless charging for larger battery systems.
Pretty simple recipe, actually.
Northwestern Robotics has presented a novel way of getting robots to swarm. The method involves using image moments - various polynomials - to quickly gather robots. The method could speed up and simplify robot swarming in the future.
Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson introduces you to HERO-BLUE, a biomimetic, multimodal locomotion robot poised to transform underwater exploration and maintenance.
A Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped robot performed a choreographed routine with "Sparkles", another Spot robot in a custom dog costume.
AI is upending the way robots learn, leaving companies and researchers with a need for more data. Getting it means wrestling with a host of ethical and legal questions.
We got face-to-face with some of The Searial Cleaners' trash-collecting robots patrolling Lake Tahoe to learn about how they work and how they're helping battle pollution beyond just cleaning up.
RIYADH: A personal robot concierge is set to become a reality as a new wave of technological innovation takes the spotlight during the Future Hospitality Summit in Riyadh. In an interview with Arab
Recently we suggested Boston Dynamics should enshroud its bots in some kind of hair. Today Boston Dynamics showed off a costume for its Spot robot that is festooned in blue, sparkly fur. I’m sure its just a coincidence, but if not, thank you for listening Boston Dynamics. The bots are indeed less te...
A systematic review in npj Digital Medicine categorizes FDA-approved surgical robots by their levels of autonomy, highlighting a need for standardized definitions and greater regulatory clarity as these systems evolve towards higher autonomy.
We spoke to the founders of Adagy Robotics and the founders of Diligent Robotics about their experiences within the industry.
The development and testing of algorithms for robotics applications typically requires evaluations in both simulated and physical environments. Some algorithms, however, can be difficult to deploy in ...
I don't know whether to be impressed, terrified or skeptical. This is startup Astribot's eponymous robot competently performing domestic tasks: Tidying up a worksurface, preparing food, vacuuming, ironing, folding clothes, etc., purportedly without being teleoperated: My kneejerk skepticism is proba...
We've seen some impressive nature-inspired flying bots from the creative minds at Festo's Bionic Learning Network over the years, but the autonomous BionicBee is not only the smallest so far but also the first capable of swarming.
Researchers explored whether modern robots can outpace biological organisms in speed and agility.
China News: China will launch a robotic spacecraft on a mission to dark side of the moon. The mission is the first of three challenging missions that will lead to
Australian company SwarmFarm Robotics made its first commercial delivery of the autonomous SwarmBot in the U.S..
From QR code menus to robot waiters, emerging tech in restaurants is either the wave of the future or a crushing blow to the job market, depending on who you ask.
Wildcat simultaneous localization and mapping and stereo depth fusion are two promising sensing algorithms that could lead to true autonomous movement.
