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.
Designed to monitor the whole sky for signs of meteors, which can be traced back to their cometary origins, the CAMS project has recently received a big upgrade to its detection and visualization pipeline — with the SpaceML project bringing citizen scientists into the mix.
The aim of this article is to provide a high-level answer to the question: “What do people use underwater robotic arms for?” If you’ve worked with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) before, this article probably isn’t for you. For everyone else, let’s go.
A framework that uses both audio and image modality for event classification– tested on COVID-19 prescreening and battlefield object detection, later evaluated on the Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer.
This is a multicopter that can fly close to bridges, overpasses, and other pieces of large infrastructure to perform high-pressure washing. Water is pumped to high pressure on the ground, then sent to the drone via a hose.
Using a highly-scalable approach to creating dense sensor networks, yet requiring only a pair of address lines, these researchers have taken inspiration from the human somatosensory system for a rapid-response sensitive sense of electronic touch.
A Quick Start Guide to Underwater ROVs. In this guide, you’ll learn about what defines a remotely operated vehicle, different types of ROVs, and what they are used for. Underwater ROVs are used to observe and interact underwater across a range of industries.
In this episode, we talk about how a group at MIT has developed an easy-to-use handheld device to treat internal bleeding and a joint effort between MIT and Imperial College London which resulted in a marine mammal call sensor that can leverage machine learning models locally
Using satellite imagery or road schematic maps as "side information," the ViKiNG robot can plan its own miles-long route to a goal — measurably outperforming its strongest competitors, even when its side information is inaccurate or outdated.
Is there life on Jupiter's moon Europa? An ocean suspected to be under miles of ice gives science hope. But how could it be reached and explored? Researchers at the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center have been investigating this question since 2012 in the Europa Explorer project series.
The Irish Manufacturing Research developed an advanced solution for automated picking of bread products, which deploys a UR 5 robot navigated by 3D vision and robotic intelligence SW from Photoneo.
