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.
Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paper folding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease.
A research team from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich (UZH) has developed a novel approach to treating spinal cord injuries: controllable microrobots deliver stem cells directly to the site of an injury, where they promote nerve cell regeneration.
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes and adapts to its environment without centralized control.
From hospital wards to crop fields, from microscopic swarms to biohybrid machines powered by fungi, robotics research at Cornell spans an astonishing range of scale, application and ambition.
Cutkosky applies analyses, simulations, and experiments to the design and control of robotic hands, tactile sensors, and devices for human/computer interaction. In manufacturing, his work focuses on design tools for rapid prototyping.
In this episode, we talk about Nissan’s new 50% thermally efficient internal combustion engine, the first 3D printed home for sale in the United States, and how NYPD is adding Boston Dynamic Spot robots to the police force.
In the new DeeperSense project, an international consortium led by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is working on technologies that combine the strengths of visual and acoustic sensors with the help of artificial intelligence.
Generative design is getting a lot of attention in the world of engineering, but what is it exactly? Here we explain how generative design can add value to your engineering process and why you should probably avoid the popular "black box" approaches.
Thoughtful discussion with Prof.Metin Sitti about physical intelligence, Wireless soft miniature medical robots actuation, and computation, What are the unavoidable trade-offs in material design? The role of evolutionary methodology for designing responsive materials, how you get disruptive ideas.
The customer needed to automate the process of picking heavy metal spherical objects from a container. These metal balls are semi-finished products for ball bearings. The task is currently performed manually.
Check how the Bin Picking Studio solved this problem
Automation in the postal service will play an important role in the upcoming years. Reaching challenging cycle times and pick rates is something where we continuously strive to push the boundaries further. The solution has an amazing 1.8 second cycle time allowing it to pick up to 2,000 objects/hour
In this episode, we spoke about Material And Geometric Nonlinearities To Design Novel Materials. Can we design a simple structure with advanced functionalities? What are the accessible features with nonlinearities and which material's nonlinearities could be accessible?
The Chair for Aerospace Systems is an integrating chair dealing with the aircraft in its entirety and the integration within civil and/or military aviation.
Over 70 different companies produce industrial robots today. The robotics market is also expanding at an accelerating rate, which means a company buying an industrial robot today has a wide variety of brands and models to choose from.
