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
Researchers at the University of South Australia (UniSA) have partnered with Australia’s Department of Defense, Insight Via Artificial Intelligence, and the University of Adelaide to study the use of commercially available smartwatches and wearable devices Read More
Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) has designed a system that enables a quadruped robot to nimbly walk a narrow balance beam. “This experiment was huge,” said Zachary Manchester, head of the Robotic Exploration Lab. Read More
Researchers from MIT and Rice University have discovered new computer vision technology that utilizes reflections to image the world. Their method uses reflections to turn glossy objects into “cameras,” enabling a user to see the Read More
A multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have been working on a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying Read More
Researchers at the University of Sheffield in England have developed an inexpensive and low-power camera for the long-term measuring of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from volcanoes. Monitoring volcanic gas emissions is critical as they can Read More
Researchers at Koç University in Turkey have created a “real-time” food spoilage alert sensor. Studies have shown that an estimated 240 million tons of meat is discarded globally each year, with much of this waste Read More
The Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed an automatic process for making soft sensors. These sensors function as universal measurement cells and can be Read More
Researchers from Nagoya University’s Graduate School of Engineering have developed a method to create anti-counterfeiting QR codes using micrometer-sized spherical cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs). The team developed a method for processing CLCs into micrometer-sized spherical Read More
