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
A team from Brown University’s School of Engineering have built Pleobot – a krill-inspired robot with the potential of serving as a foundation for building small, highly maneuverable underwater robots. Krill are small crustaceans found Read More
The University of Bristol’s Department of Engineering Mathematics is working with simple sponges to enhance the way robots grasp objects. The use of an easy-to-make sponge-jamming device can assist stiff robots handle delicate items carefully Read More
Researchers from Westlake University have created a new haptic device that could increase the fidelity and realism of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) environments. The haptic device was inspired by origami, the art of paper-folding. Read More
