Everyone, guess how fast is it?
The new design could assist the elderly as they age in place at home.
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.
TAGGED WITH soft robotics
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.
'Link-bots' can move, explore, cooperate without sensing or computation
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 address the risk to front-line staff from COVID-19, this autonomous swab-sampling robot is designed to take the human element out of sample gathering.
Using a now public-access dataset, a research team has created a robotics control system which can generalize to unseen related tasks — allowing robots to interpret natural-language commands and video demonstrations.
Intelligent Automation (IA) is a set of technologies and methods for automating the work of white-collar professionals and knowledge workers. Here, we present a framework for explaining its power in terms of four main capabilities—Vision, Execution, Language, and Thinking & Learning—and how they can enable business transformations, with people and business goals at the center.
With research suggesting feral pigeons do as much as $1.1 billion in damage in the US alone, a project which pairs a commercial drone with machine learning to scare them away — without injury — could prove key to their control.
5 Questions to Ask Before Getting Started with Data Annotation: What is data annotation? Why is it essential? What are common label types for models? How do AI-powered data annotation tools help with the computer vision labeling process? What’s the best way to get started?

The CyberSpec framework is designed to detect anomalous behavior linked to cyber-attacks against crowd-sensing spectrum sensors, even when said sensors are running on lightweight resource-constrained hardware like a Raspberry Pi.
Developed at Google Research, HyperTransformer decouples the task space and individual task complexity to generate all model weights in just one pass — while also offering support for unlabeled sample ingestion.
This intelligent solution by VUEZ Levice deploys 3D machine vision and bin picking software from Photoneo to enable robots to precisely recognize and pick cylinders that are to be welded.
Designed to dramatically reduce the amount of training data needed for an image recognition system, this one-shot approach "inspired by nativism" takes a leaf from humans' ability to intuit and abstract.
ERIS is a computer vision-powered robot that scans retail store shelves and price tags in order to detect out-of-stock items and identify errors and inconsistencies in product prices. It provides data extraction and on-the-go analytics and sends instant error alerts to store operators and managers.
