The hospitality industry can leverage the gender characteristics of service robots to influence customers' decisions, according to new research from a team in the Penn State School of Hospitality Management.
Service robots have evolved from simple automated machines to intelligent adaptive systems that can navigate unpredictable environments and interact with humans.
AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence.
A team of researchers from ITMO University, Tel Aviv University, and University of Aveiro have come up with a new way to improve the mechanical properties of spider webs.
EPFL researchers have developed a customizable soft robotic system that uses compressed air to produce shape changes, vibrations, and other haptic, or tactile, feedback in a variety of configurations.
Protect sensitive electronics by understanding the current limiting resistor, learning how to calculate appropriate values, and applying them in LEDs, transistors, microcontroller inputs and other circuits.
Matroid builds no-code computer-vision detectors that can spot everything from microscopic material defects to real-time safety hazards on a factory floor.
In this episode, we cover how scientists mapped zebrafish brains when swimming and used that map to power a real robot fish. The robot can hold its position in flowing water using vision alone, revealing new neuron types, and proving biology can teach robots to move smarter.
Learn everything you need about the full adder circuit. From binary addition theory to low-power hardware implementations and modern ASIC/FPGA design flows, this technical article equips digital design engineers, hardware engineers with practical insights and current research trends.
A new quadrupedal system with tactile sensing, LocoTouch, enables robot dogs to transport unsecured cylindrical objects on their backs for more than 60 meters while navigating around cones and over obstacles.
Join Prof. Fei Chen as he explores advanced bimanual manipulation and teleoperation techniques shaping the future of intelligent human-like robots in this expert-led robotics session.
In large-scale warehousing and distribution operations, conveyor belts are an essential infrastructure that must operate with near-zero downtime to ensure the timely delivery of products. The presence of loose or foreign items on a conveyor belt can pose a serious risk to these operations.
Unitree G1 has learned the "Anti-Gravity" mode: stability is greatly improved under any action sequence, and even if it falls, it can quickly get back up.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a microrobot capable of transporting drugs to specific locations within the body, with the potential for use in hospitals in the near future.
