The impact of AI and robotics on employment goes far deeper than just job creation. AI, and subsequently, robotics, are niche technologies that demand an extensive understanding of every associated parameter.
The traditional industrial robots, engineered with advanced sensors and AI, have found several applications in manufacturing and electronics, which boosted the growth of the service robotics market.
Climate change is killing our planet. The excess production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses are filling the atmosphere and warming the Eart
Next-gen agriculture might involve using drones to airdrop hundreds of tiny sensors, called PlantCopters, which can keep track of crop growth, crop health, and surrounding microclimate. This data could then be transmitted via Bluetooth. Could this be the future of farming?
Honeybee populations are declining at a terrifying rate. BrambleBee, a new pollination robot developed by researchers at West Virginia University, may one day be able to help carry on their crucial job. Here's how it works, and how its creators imagine its future.
Yanu is a robotic bartender who will soon be fixing thousands of drinks at some major European airports.
A new tool called a Slocum glider measures the ocean heat that fuels super-storms like Florence, filling in data gaps to help make forecasting more accurate.
IEEE Spectrum is building the world’s largest, coolest robotics catalog
Apple keeps adding autonomous vehicles to its test fleet in California, boosting its ranks 27 percent since May, according to records from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The company now has 70 autonomous vehicles permitted to test on public roads, Mac Reports first reported. The permi…
Drones that mimic insect behavior negotiate gaps with just a monocular camera
When punctured or torn, this material’s circuits can autonomously—and instantaneously—heal themselves to remain fully operational.
Mercedes-Benz shared on Monday its vision for how people and packages will someday move in dense urban environments. It’s called Vision Urbanetic — an all-electric autonomous concept vehicle that can change from a toaster-looking cargo van to a dung beetle-esque (or it is bike helmet) people …
AT&T has teamed up with prostheses provider Hanger Clinic to develop a standalone, network-connected device that can help prosthetists (thanks, Jaclyn!
Vertical Aerospace just tested its eVTOL vehicle for the first time, and the craft could eventually make medium-distance travel more sustainable.

An AI just discovered an additionally 72 fast radio bursts emanating from FRB 121102, a source in a galaxy 3 billion light years from Earth.
Tweets can provide healthcare providers with valuable insights into the needs and wants of patients with diabetes, according to a new study.
DARPA’s new research in brain-computer interfaces is allowing a pilot to control multiple simulated aircraft at once.
Here in 2018, drones are flying high -- both figuratively and literally. Want to know how things got this way? Here are 10 of the most significant milestones that explain how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) became the ultra-hot product category they are today.
keep these things in mind to grow your community
After running into LG’s Cloi the airport robot in South Korea, the experience was entrancing, yet unfulfilling. Does a rolling, talking computer screen with blinking eyes have a purpose other than to entertain?
But even with all of the various connected appliances, virtual assistants, and copious sensors that can be installed in a modern smart home, the "smart" side of things is still rather lacking.
Upcoming "service" satellites will be like doctors for older, ailing satellites. Should they take the Hippocratic oath?
