Founder of Prusa Research, the world’s largest 3D printing factory located in Prague, Josef Prusa has spoken about how the company is doing everything it can to aid the production of much needed medical supplies during the COVID-19 crisis. While Prusa Research is committed to the production of face ...
Walking robots that move smoothly are tricky to build and usually involve some sort of compliant leg mechanism — a robot limb that can rebound like natural physiology for much better movement…
Many in the U.S. live with some form of paralysis. Now wearable robots, or exoskeletons, are giving hope to people with spinal cord injuries, neurological disorders and strokes.
To give massively overworked healthcare workers a much-needed break, China tried something new: by staffing an entire field hospital with robots.
Much of the world is waking up to a strange new reality. As the coronavirus strain, COVID-19, swept across the planet, today may go down in history as the day when huge numbers of countries were largely united in a global shut-down to address the pandemic. TechCrunch brings you a wrap of the technol...
Psychologists at the University of Jena in Germany studying interactions between people and humanoid robots found benefits for certain populations.
UAE Space Agency is calling on students to join a competition that will see them controlling small robots used aboard the International Space Station
As cities continue to grow and evolve, with more people than ever wanting to live and work from within them, so to do the tactics used to house and control this city growth, without being detriment…
One of the good things about drones is the fact that they can safely be flown in conditions that would prove hazardous for crewed aircraft. That's where the JC260 unmanned helicopter comes in, as it's designed to fight forest fires.
In autonomous food and medicine delivery and beyond, the increasingly mature AI industry is actively engaged in countering COVID-19.
Drones can now scan terrain and excavations without human intervention. AI pilots developed by Aarhus University can better compensate for wind.
The indoor farm is an expansion from its Spring Grove location in Cincinnati. There are now two buildings in Butler County, a third one being built and additional pilot facilities in Alabama, North Carolina and Arkansas. The intent is to take farming well into the 21st century using robotics.
CORD-19 consists of over 29,000 scholarly articles, including over 13,000 with full text about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related…
UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new way for mobile robots such as BADGR to learn from experience how to navigate in the future.
Obstacle avoidance is a crucial piece of technology for drones, but commercially-available systems just aren’t fast enough for some situations. Now, engineers at the University of Zurich have developed a new system that gives drones such fast reflexes that they can play – and win at – dodgeball.
In these troubling, confusing times, it can be tough to know who to turn to for help. One possible answer? A disembodied robot mouth chanting A.I. prayers.
Hospitals in Thailand have begun using “ninja robots” to ease the burden on medical workers and doctors fighting to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Demand has surged for robots equipped with powerful ultraviolet lights that can kill viruses.
Researchers working in the field of soft robotics hope to bring about a new generation of machines that are far safer for humans to work with, and one way they hope to do that is through supple, inflatable components. Scientists at Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Barbara ...
