Tech firms big and small have been developing everything from wearable devices to thermal imaging cameras to help businesses equip their office spaces for the future.
A startup company called Ocious Technology is to provide Australia with autonomous boats to watch out for refugees at sea. The company was awarded $5.5 million a couple of months ago by the Austra…
Researchers from the University of Michigan have demonstrated that the behavior rules underpinning the Japanese art of origami could expand tiny robots’ capabilities. The researchers say that…
Artificial intelligence software promises to make hiring fairer. But how well does it work?
Episode 9 of The Robot Report Podcast talks re-skilling coal miners, the Perseverance Rover heads to Mars and Jibo returns.
Robotics researchers often turn to the Japanese paper folding art of origami for inspiration, and with some very impressive results. Scientists working in the field at the University of Michigan have now taken this approach to produce what they say are first-of-a-kind machines, which can fold into d...
From water pumps to musical automatons, Ismail al-Jazari's extraordinary machines ranged from practical to playful, delighting farmers and kings alike.
You should really probably definitely not ever try this at home or anywhere else
The system was often used in lower-income, non-white areas, according to Reuters.
Neocis has received FDA 501(k) clearance to use its Yomi robot-assisted surgical platform for full-arch dental implant procedures.
Protein in squid teeth could hold the solution for self-healing materials.
“It's a big moment because although the event may be virtual its significance is starting to open space to everyone is very real,” Virgin founder, Sir Richard Branson, noted during today’s reveal. “Somebody once said to me the Virgin Galactic spaceship was the first one to be built from the inside ...
The researchers say the approach produces motions that are visually and physically much more plausible than state-of-the-art methods.
When it comes to the 3D printing of metal, a process known as selective laser sintering (SLS) is most commonly used. An upside-down variation on the technique has now been developed, for printing single objects out of different materials.
LAURINBURG — Scotland County Schools will be starting the school year off online, but the virtual learning could look different than it did at the end of last school year.
The One Love Machine Band is the freshest new punk band to come out of Berlin – and its members are made entirely of scrap metal
University of Texas researchers unveil protocol to shuffle large data stores into strands of genetic material
Jibo’s owners can rest easy
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have created an artificial robot skin that can process touch 1,000 times faster than humans can, according to Engadget. The skin is powered by Intel’s neuromorphic research chip, Loihi, which Cornell University researchers were able to prog...
Repeated activity wears on soft robotic actuators, but these machine's moving parts need to be reliable and easily fixed. Now a team of researchers has a biosynthetic polymer, patterned after squid ring ...
Together with Boston Dynamics, we’re introducing a pilot program into our Van Dyke Transmission Plant. Say hello to Fluffy the Robot Dog, who creates fast an...
Ford is going to employ two of Boston Dynamics’ ‘Spot’ robots, which are four-legged, dog-like walking robots that weigh roughly 70 lbs each, to help them update the original engineering plans for one of the transmission manufacturing plans. The plants, Ford explains, have undergone any number of ch...
One of the biggest dangers of interplanetary travel is radiation exposure. In a single round trip to Mars, for instance, you may absorb 60 percent of the maximum recommend lifetime dosage. One surprising solution may be mold, according to researchers from Stanford and North Carolina universities. Th...
Guide dogs play an important role as a mobility aid for the visually impaired, but they aren’t the perfect solution for everyone. Things like the cost, smaller living quarters or even allergies can mean that these canines aren’t suitable for many, but a technology under development at Loughborough U...
