It Takes a Swarm: These Robots Talk to Each Other, Make Decisions as a Group
As the old saying doesnt exactly go: hundreds of artificial minds are better than one.
MiR200 Improves Safety, Quality, and Competitiveness at Metro Plastics
Using the robots built-in Wi-Fi interface, operators will use tablets installed at each press to call the robot to pick up finished products and take them directly to the quality department, optimizing the robots use.
Companion Robots for Seniors
Support robots are already a factor in Japan, where a quarter of the population is already greying. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry expects the robotic service industry to grow to nearly $4 billion annually by 2035-25 times its current level.
Meet the Free-flying Camera on the ISS
Meet the new colleague for the crew of the International Space Station (ISS): an autonomous camera drone. The small sphere films the astronauts at work and this drone could potentially save about ten percent of their valuable working time.
Automation Advancing the Pharmaceutical Industry
By having robots perform the job of human hands, the process of getting a new drug to market is significantly improved. Having a robot do the work can ensure accuracy and repeatability across multiple trials
What Caused Rethink Robotics to Shut Down?
The outcome for Rethink Robotics demonstrates that even when companies are in a popular sector, they still face challenges that could make it hard to thrive. As such, the company's closing should not be viewed as a sign of a struggling robotics industry.
Fauna Robotica
In millions of years of evolution, nature has produced many sophisticated locomotor systems that engineers use as inspiration for creating better robots. We show some current technical developments that are highly advanced.
LiDAR Solution for Mass Production and Adoption
LiDAR offers a number of advantages over other perception solutions, enabling smart machines to "see" far distances and generate a 3D representation of their surrounding environment to detect obstacles and make intelligent navigation decisions.
Morphological Approaches in Medical Technology
Robotic devices for clinical rehabilitation of patients with neurological impairments come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and employ different kinds of actuators.
Stanford Develops an Electronic Glove That Gives Robots a Sense of Touch
Stanford researchers have developed an electronic glove that bestows robotic hands with some of the manual dexterity humans enjoy.
NIDEC GPM Strengthens Innovative Capacity Thanks to Mobile Robots
Before their first mission, the robots first travelled all over the factory floor and mapped out their future working environment. For this the robots rely on a powerful laser scanner. On this basis, the mobile robots can get their bearings later ...
Choose Your Cobot Vacuum Gripper Wisely
Plug-and-play cobots offer a perfect transition from manual handling or assembly to more automated operations. But, it is important to choose one with a powerful and safe grip!
University of Texas "opens Doors" to Safer Nuclear Waste Retrieval
The Nuclear and Applied Robotics Group, based in the University of Texas at Austin, has a mission to "develop and deploy advanced robotics in hazardous environments to minimize risk for the human operator."
WPI and Albany Medical College Developing Robotic System to Treat Brain Tumors
Funded by a five-year, $3.5 million NIH grant, the academic-industry partnership aims to develop an MRI-compatible robotic technology to provide minimally invasive brain tumor therapy that is ready for clinical trials.
What Industry 4.0 Means for Manufacturers
Industry 4.0 represents a giant leap in the evolution of machines - an evolution that has already pioneered leaps in productivity and quality of life over several hundred years. Today, our machines are connected with each other, their physical environments, and to people
