DARPA is entering the first phase of its Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay program (POWER) which will seek to power an entire drone swarm – including its directed-energy weapons – using lasers. According to DARPA’s Read More
The first fire-resistant, onsite-built, concrete accessory dwelling unit (ADU) will soon be constructed in Northern California using a robotic 3D printer. ADUs can be a cost-effective way to address the current housing shortage issue in Read More
Researchers at EPFL’s Reconfigurable Robotics Lab (RRL) have designed a sensor that can simultaneously detect multiple stimuli – such as bending, stretching, compression, and temperature shifts – by using color. The new sensor shows promise Read More
Norse Atlantic Airways has partnered with Avinxt to use AI robots to perform regular maintenance functions, such as de-icing and washing. The airline points out that the use of this technology will both reduce carbon Read More
Dr. Qiushi Guo of CUNY has demonstrated a novel approach for creating high-performance ultrafast lasers on nanophotonic chips. His work is focussed on miniaturizing mode-locked lasers – unique lasers that emit a train of ultrashort, Read More
A team from the University of Barcelona has trained a group of mini robots to reach a consensus on tasks by copying processes displayed by honeybees. The study could lead to the development of “simple Read More
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – working with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the University of Colorado Boulder – has built a superconducting camera containing 400,000 pixels – 400 times more Read More
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) are developing a humanoid robot pilot that can fly an aircraft without modifying the cockpit. The robot – called “Pibot” (PIlot+roBOT) – is a Read More
An international team of researchers, led by Pennsylvania State University, has taken a large step towards the creation of artificial muscles by developing a new ferroelectric polymer that efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical strain. Read More
