In this episode, we explore two cutting-edge environmental robots developed by ETH Zurich students: MONKEE, a tree-climbing robot for canopy research, and ReefRanger, an autonomous underwater robot that feeds and monitors corals.
Around 100 Bachelor's students from the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering have spent two semesters working on their Focus projects in 11 teams. They will present the results of their projects on 28 May.
Discover how Turkish forging manufacturer EGEMET Ege Metal optimized the inspection of large forged parts and molds using SCANOLOGY's SIMSCAN 42 handheld 3D scanner. The transition from manual measurement to digital inspection improved accuracy, efficiency, and production flexibility.
Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system significantly reduces manufacturing time and opens up new possibilities for aerospace and industry.
3D metal printing also known as metal additive manufacturing is transforming the production of complex metal components. This technology enables the creation of intricate geometries and internal structures that would be challenging or impossible to achieve through conventional manufacturing methods
In this episode, we discuss how a team from Carnegie Mellon University spearheading non-invasive brain computer interface solutions has had a significant breakthrough in improving their accuracy.
Achieving a noteworthy milestone to advance noninvasive brain-controlled interfaces, researchers used AI technology to improve the decoding of human intention and control a continuously moving virtual object all by thinking about it, with unmatched performance.
Developed by the Self-Assembly Lab, the 4D Knit Dress uses several technologies to create a custom design and a custom fit, while addressing sustainability concerns.
In this episode, we delve into the cognitive strategies employed by researchers at EPFL to augment the human body with an additional robotic arm and learn about the profound impact of cognitive enhancements on the integration of advanced robotic limbs
EPFL scientists show that breathing may be used to control a wearable extra robotic arm in healthy individuals, without hindering control of other parts of the body.
Researchers at CMU combined two vision foundational models—models trained on large visual data sets—to help a robot arm recognize the shape and the type of fruit and vegetable slices.
Modern robots know how to sense their environment and respond to language, but what they don’t know is often more important than what they do know. Teaching robots to ask for help is key to making them safer and more efficient.
By blending 2D images with foundation models to build 3D feature fields, a new MIT method helps robots understand and manipulate nearby objects with open-ended language prompts.
EPFL researchers have designed a bio-inspired robot with a novel trimmed helicoid structure that allows for a wide range of motion and safe interaction with humans.
Humans excel at manual tasks, and ideally, robots should surpass us in these functions. We have the advantage due to our superior dexterity, and we can perform tasks that robots should, in theory, be capable of.
As we advance robotics our goal is to effectively transfer our human skills to robots.
Researchers from ITMO University have created a multipurpose robot complex for laser treatment of medical device surfaces, like those of dental and skull implants. The designed technology can be utilized to imbue metal implants with antibacterial and biocompatible properties, as well as mark medical items. All one needs to do is load a 3D model of an implant into a program, set a processing trajectory, and pick a surface attribute of choice.
