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.
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.
In Denmark, agriculture makes up almost 2/3 of our land and oftentimes one crop is grown in huge areas. That's hurting the biodiversity, but agricultural robots can help do away with monoculture, and a new DTU project will pave the way for that future.
The inspection of confined spaces within the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) industry presents numerous challenges, ranging from safety concerns to the substantial costs and extended downtime associated with traditional inspection methods.
Microcontrollers and microprocessors are fundamental components in electronics and computing. Both play crucial roles in operating various devices, from smartphones to embedded systems in automobiles and home appliances. This article studies their differences in architecture, performance, and more.
Jared Sandam the esteemed President of Fancort Industries invites viewers to embark on an extraordinary journey into the revolutionary realm of AutoBlocks.
The customer, an automotive manufacturer, needed an automation solution for the palletization and depalletization of large ABS parts. They decided on a solution where one vision-guided robot operates both processes.
Digital platforms have profoundly transformed the design process for cobot motor drives, enabling engineers to streamline workflows, enhance precision, and rapidly adapt to the evolving demands of the industrial landscape.
ETH Zurich researchers taught an autonomous excavator to construct dry stone walls itself using boulders weighing several tonnes and demolition debris.
Princeton researchers have developed a flexible, lightweight and energy efficient soft robot that moves without the use of any legs or rotary parts. Instead, the device uses actuators that convert electrical energy into vibrations that allow it to wiggle from point to point using only a single watt.
