New process said to lower cost by a factor of between three and five times.
Robotic gripper with soft sensitive fingers developed at MIT CSAIL can handle cables with unprecedented dexterity.
MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has shared the results of a new project in which it built a two-fingered robotic gripper, which has soft pads for dedicated and fine manipulation of objects like cables, sheets and more. The robot’s design is based on how humans use thei...
Panasonic is trialing a robotic mobility device at Takanawa Gateway Station, a new railway station on the JR East Group Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines in Minato, Tokyo that opened in March. The test is scheduled to run from July to September.
Stan from Stanley Robotics is a valet bot that takes your vehicle and parks it for you eliminating the hassle of needing to find a spot.
Creators say robot dolphins provide an alternative to keeping cetaceans in captivity and could be rolled out in Chinese aquariums
When an unauthorized drone is being flown in a restricted airspace, the authorities understandably want to locate its operator. A new AI-based system may allow them to do so, succeeding where other technologies fail.
A bendable structure allows you to reconfigure this robot arm based on the task it needs to perform.
A Japanese advertising agency has created an app that uses AI to allow humans to easily grade the quality of a tuna cut.
In June 2020, robotics investments and acquisitions bounced back a bit, for more than $1.9 billion in transactions across industries.
The Curiosity rover’s next stop is Mount Sharp’s “sulfate-bearing unit.”
On Episode 6 of The Robot Report Podcast, we profile the Pickle Robot Company, discuss robots at Japanese baseball games, and talk ROS on Windows 10.
Robots are learning to do the jobs of human factory workers, bus drivers, burger flippers, butlers, and healthcare workers, among many others – and now, they may be coming for scientists as well. Engineers at the University of Liverpool have developed a robot scientist that can autonomously perform ...
SoftBank, however, is taking things a step further in an effort to make its Japanese baseball team’s games a lot livelier.
The proposed method generalizes well across various degrees of eye openness, different identities.
This morning we're marking the date for Microsoft's next big Xbox showcase, and planning a road trip on Mars.
Computer vision summit CVPR has just (virtually) taken place, and like other CV-focused conferences, there are quite a few interesting papers. More than I could possibly write up individually, in fact, so I’ve collected the most promising ones from major companies here. Facebook, Google, Amazon and ...
Facing a shortage of seasonal workers and rising labour costs, kiwifruit growers may get some relief from robots equipped with a new…
Even if they're wearing face shields and masks, healthcare workers can still understandably be quite leery of getting up close and personal with patients who may have COVID-19. That's where a new robotic system comes in, as it lets clinicians take samples at a distance.
Bioprinting could happen via minimally invasive surgery
In recent years, fish farms have increasingly started using underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) for cleaning the nets that enclose their fish pens. A relatively new one, the StealthCleaner, has a unique triangular form factor.
The upcoming Perseverance mission will attempt the first powered flight on another planet
One of the reasons that we're still not seeing delivery drones in common use lies in the fact that they can only fly for about half an hour per battery-charge. According to a new study, though, their range could be extended if they hitched rides on top of buses.
Four-legged HyQ balancing on two legs. Nice results from the team at IIT’s Dynamic Legged Systems Lab. And we can’t wait to see the “ninja walk,” currently shown in simulation, implemented with the real robot!
