The robo-couch they crafted sits on two wheels like those used on electric scooters that are connected to an electric motor, plus two other unmotorized wheels that simply work to share the couch's weight. A rechargeable battery supplies the power.
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.
The robo-couch they crafted sits on two wheels like those used on electric scooters that are connected to an electric motor, plus two other unmotorized wheels that simply work to share the couch's weight. A rechargeable battery supplies the power.
Learn more about the engineering considerations for integrating NTN capabilities into IoT devices, covering the trade-offs of remote reporting, fallback connectivity, and continuous satellite use.
New tool from MIT CSAIL creates realistic virtual kitchens and living rooms where simulated robots can interact with models of real-world objects, scaling up training data for robot foundation models.
In the world of automotive manufacturing, precision is not optional — it is mandatory. Every component, from wiring harnesses to interior panels to fasteners, must be installed correctly, in the correct sequence, at the correct tempo, every single time.
In the rapidly growing field of industrial robotics, reliable connectivity is essential for maintaining high signal integrity, especially in environments characterized by continuous motion and harsh conditions.
In this episode, we cover how researchers trained a quadruped robot to play badminton, teaching it to track the shuttlecock, move into position, and swing a racket in real time, showing how AI can bring robots closer to human-like coordination.
A team of scientists from ITMO University has developed software that can automatically track potential human causes of industrial accidents, such as drinking or smoking in the workplace.
