When stretched or deformed, shape memory polymers return to their original shapes after heat or light is applied. These materials show great promise for soft robotics, smart biomedical devices and deployable space structures, but until now they haven’t been able to store enough energy. Now, research
Restaurants across the country are struggling to find employees, so one establishment in Dallas decided to hire robots to help pick up the slack.
This year, XPeng showed off a second prototype of a flying car. And on Tuesday, it showed off a four-legged "robotic unicorn" as it pushes into new areas.
These advanced robots are designed to handle the hostile environments of space.
Robot ELU takes moisture from the air, compresses and filtrates to create drinkable water.
We went to the first robotic pizza chef employing restaurant in order to explore the new frontier of cluautomation.
It’s like Kirby Tilt and Tumble but without Kirby and your Game Boy is a phone.
It can detect obstacles in the grass and halt its blades
Singapore has started trialing robots to patrol public areas and deter poor social behaviour in its latest effort to further augment its strong portfolio of surveillance tools.
Will your neighbor be the next adopter?
Last week, Kathryn Zealand shared some insight on the eve of Women’s Equality Day. The post highlighted an issue that’s been apparent to everyone in and around the robotics industry: there’s a massive gender gap. It’s something we try to be mindful of, particularly when programming events like TC Se...
Electric last-mile robot delivery service Kiwibot announces its official expansion in San Jose, Miami-Dade County, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.
For three mechanical engineering students, summer vacation included making tie-dye - with Baxter, the robot.
The octopus quickly reconfigures its arms to perform highly integrated tasks, such as swimming, walking, and preying. Inspired by such a soft-bodied cephalopod biosystem, we engineer compliant origami robotic arms to achieve multimodal deformations that integrate stretching, folding, omnidirectional...
Connecting the bionic limb directly connected to the brain allows for delivery of precise sensations tied to natural movements.
Few robotics categories are poised to benefit more from the events of the past year than construction. It’s a booming field that could benefit massively from automaton, a fact that’s only been amplified as the pandemic brought many nonessential businesses to a standstill. We’ve seen a number of play...
A new video from Agility Robotics showcases an increasing familiar sight: advanced, autonomous robots performing boring warehouse tasks. It’s not the sort of video that tends to be hugely viral for a company, rather, it’s the sort of meat and potatoes proof of concept that companies like Boston Dyna...
As if humanoids weren't hard enough, try getting one to fly
Can a robot really have the right of way?
The MB&F and L’Epée-developed Balthazar clock has a "bright" side and a "dark" side.
An autonomous delivery vehicle recently rolled down the streets of Richardson during a trial run for FedEx. The prototype called “Roxo” recently made mock...
Targeting power companies, Chinese startup collects data to refine its offerings
An autonomous fleet of AI robots that disinfects precarious surfaces of public transport systems like metro coaches, and also guides passengers in and out of the station through the least crowded p…
Whether it was Intel winding down RealSense or Bear Flag Robotics being acquired by John Deere, there was no shortage of robotics stories.
