The “Photoacoustic Airborne Sonar System” could be installed on drones to enable aerial underwater surveys and mapping of the deep ocean.
The current pandemic has seen an uptick in virtual social gatherings, online business meetings and even streamed live concerts. And though our smartphones and laptops can be used for such things, many of us have sought to buy dedicated webcams, only to find out of stock notices posted by retailers.
Multidisciplinary researchers at Stevens and Columbia team up on an assistive device to help seniors with balance and motion
Comau said its new MATE-XT exoskeleton is designed to be easy for workers to wear and use in industrial applications such as construction.
Engineers at the University of Texas have created one of the smallest memory storage devices ever, made out of a two-dimensional material measuring one nanometer square. Dubbed an “atomristor,” the device works on the movements of single atoms, which could pave the way for much smaller memory system...
Rheinmetall has unveiled its latest armed battlefield robot designed for tactical intelligence gathering and combat support. Part of the company's Mission Master Autonomous – Unmanned Ground Vehicle (A-UGV) family, the Mission Master – Armed Reconnaissance system is capable of not only carrying out ...
Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh reportedly may have been assassinated using a remote-controlled machine gun. Such devices are unfortunately easy to construct.
Last week I witnessed for myself how a new kind of robot really could — as sci-fi has been telling us for many years — create and serve us food. Today, Karakuri, a food robotics startup, unveils its first automated canteen to make meals: the “DK-One” robot. It’s also revealing a $8.4 million (£6.3mi...
Korea University researchers Seong-Whan Lee and Dong-Ok Won along with Klaus-Robert Müller from the Berlin Institute of Technology have developed Curly, an Artificial-Intelligence-powered robot that’s become an overnight curling sensation.
The Chang’e-5 spacecraft landed on Tuesday on the moon, where it will spend two days gathering rocks and soil from the lunar surface. This was the third successful uncrewed moon landing by China since 2013.
Jamoca, which has been created by Tencent's Robotics X Lab, can walk across a set of uneven poles spaced randomly apart, like 'plum blossom piles' used in Kung Fu to teach better balance.

A Utah tech company is working with a local farm to produce food for their cows more efficiently, using towers that handle the whole growing process from start to finish.
So you need a robot that climbs stairs. What shape should that robot be? Should it have two legs, like a person? Or six, like an ant?
A Madeira Beach couple is in the business of Mowbots, robot mowers that work with GPS to quietly cut the grass. And yes, some customers name their bots.
New research out of Arizona State University demonstrates how curved origami structures can lead to tunable flexibility in robots. Tunable flexibility allows a robot to adjust its stiffness based on the task at hand, which in the past has proven to be difficult to implement with simple designs. Hanq...
At the Jerusalem College of Technology, we expect to be an integral part of Israel’s path to becoming a major force in robotics around the world.
You know you hate crusts when you design and build a smart robot that can automatically slice them off a sandwich.
Robotics researchers at Google and the University of California, Berkeley propose methods that help robots move objects more accurately.
And we're here for it.
