This comprehensive article dives deep into the world of robotics, exploring the history, types, engineering components, applications, and future trends of robots, offering readers an in-depth understanding of how these remarkable machines work and shape our lives.
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.
Using AR/VR technology, Oversight gives emergency responders the ability to literally SEE THROUGH WALLS and strengthens the connectivity between control rooms and field operators.
MATT overtakes challenges met during the process of testing in-vehicle-infotainment systems using its characteristic adaptability and capabilities to support an effective operation throughout the testing process.
The inertial navigation system is a basic component of obtaining a continuous navigation solution in various applications. The system suffers from a growing error over time. This article proposes a machine-learning-based adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system to improve navigation performance.
Food processing techniques require the removal of moisture from the crop without destroying its nutritional qualities. The article proposes a dehydrator/oven whose temperature and humidity can be perfectly controlled and its generated heat is evenly distributed in its drying chamber.
Automation is one of the cornerstones of warehousing in Industry 4.0, but it will require a combination of technology working in concert to make it a success.
In this episode, we talk about how engineers inspired by some of biology’s most miniature wonders (like dandelions' seeds and microorganisms' cilia) are using their knowledge to make major breakthroughs in biosensing, robotics, biomedical engineering, and more.
Lights-out manufacturing refers to the manufacturing methodology where factories are fully-automated. While true lights-out factories are still rare today, manufacturers can look to companies like FANUC, in Japan, for inspiration.
Many manufacturers are struggling to find skilled labor for their manufacturing plants? According to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, 89% of manufacturers are having difficulty finding skilled workers in the United States today.
Why is asparagus one of the most expensive vegetables in Europe? Because harvesters have to painstakingly pierce each stalk individually. A robot could change this, and engineers at the Bremen Centre for Mechatronics (BCM) are developing one.
This solution for FAVI enables the automation of picking parts from bins using two KUKA robots navigated by 3D vision and robotic intelligence from Photoneo.
