TAGGED WITH 4 wheeled robots
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a wheeled robot that makes its way through a crowd of people safely and without hesitation. A computer on board predicts the movement of people in the vicinity and how they are likely to react to the robot.
Texas A&M researchers transform how robots traverse challenging terrain.
In this episode, we discuss research coming out of George Mason University where the RobotiXX lab has been training robots to drive more like humans

Beach cleaning operations focus on removing the waste we can see, such as plastic water bottles and trash, often using gas-powered tractors that bury microplastics beneath the top layer of sand. In contrast, the Cornell Nexus robot will use renewable solar energy to collect and remove microplastic waste.
