Interview with Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE Team ARGGONAUTS

08/15/17, 08:10 AM | Unmanned & Other Topics | competition, ocean

We are building two types of animals: one animal which runs at the water surface (the "water strider") and one which goes down (the "great diver"). These pairs are the basic units of our system.

Robotic Welding 101

08/10/17, 10:41 AM | Industrial Robotics | welding

Robotic welding design from the ground up.

Edge Following

08/08/17, 07:35 AM | Industrial Robotics | OCTOPUZ Robotics

With OCTOPUZ, you are able to quickly modify tool orientation for entire path to avoid errors, tilt all positions forward, backward or sideways, increase or decrease the number of path positions or spacing points, and control cutting depths.

SMART Parking

08/03/17, 12:35 PM | Unmanned & Other Topics | parking

The main target is to get the traffic and the parking under control, calm the traffic on the square, inform drivers where they can park the car, and send them to the parking place directly.

In Search of a Lost Veteran

08/01/17, 11:53 AM | Unmanned & Other Topics | ocean, ROV, sea | maxon precision motors

The largest submarine of WWII has been sitting on the bottom of the ocean off the Japanese coast for 70 years. Researchers finally found the lost wreck with the aid of an underwater robot - and Swiss drive technology.

Soft Stretchy Sensors

07/27/17, 09:42 AM | Personal & Service Robots | Sensors and Circuits

When the sensor is integrated into a wearable device and placed across a joint, it is stretched when the joint moves. We can correlate the joint's movement and sensor's capacitance change in order to monitor motion.

Be Polite to Machines!

07/27/17, 09:34 AM | Personal & Service Robots , Unmanned & Other Topics | ai, Opinions and Advice | maxon precision motors

Machines won't be receptive to emotional, snide, impetuous, plaintive, vague or rambling communication. The algorithms will gently correct our moods and keep inquiring, relentlessly reasonable - or push the matter off to be dealt with later because they're not getting a useful answer from us.

Autonomous Driving Technology

07/25/17, 08:07 AM | Unmanned & Other Topics | ai, autonomous vehicles

We believe three components are critical for turning self-driving cars into a mass product: power-efficient hardware, optimized algorithms and a solid regulatory environment. While none of these components are fully ready at this stage, competition and advances in technology are speeding the process for the first two.

RPA - The Small and Medium Businesses Challenge

07/25/17, 08:06 AM | Unmanned & Other Topics | RPA

RPA does have impactful potential for SMB companies but the analysis and application needs to a lot more granular and explicit about avenues of costs savings beyond head-count reductions.

Waymo Is Officially Testing Self-Driving Trucks

07/20/17, 08:14 AM | Unmanned & Other Topics | autonomous vehicles | Kayla Mathews - Contributing Author

Recent research by companies like Waymo are paving the way for others and their own work, and it won't be long before self-driving trucks are on the road once and for all.

Artificial Intelligence Fever in Japan: 40000 people visited first Japan AI expo

07/20/17, 08:11 AM | Personal & Service Robots | ai, Tradeshows and Conferences

Though AI topics are not new to Japan and the companies promoting their products were not completely new; all of sudden a surge, huge interest in Artificial Intelligence among most of the mid aged workers, salary men in Japan has risen.

Human Locomotion, Robotic Exoskeleton and Prostheses

07/18/17, 08:29 AM | Personal & Service Robots | Exoskeleton, Technology Discussions

Why is it so difficult to make walking more efficient in humans? There are a few challenges. People are highly complex, in the dynamics of our movements, in our hundreds of muscles and tendons, and in our wildly complex nervous systems.

The Robots are Coming

07/18/17, 08:28 AM | Personal & Service Robots , Unmanned & Other Topics | book review, business, futurist

Over the next five years automation will impact sectors of the economy that have been insulated from change by social norms or regulatory barriers to entry. This will occur because technological solutions are readily available but not yet deployed.

Artificial Intelligence and Skynet

07/13/17, 08:50 AM | Personal & Service Robots | ai, Analysis and Trends | Len Calderone - Contributing Author

An intelligent yet evil operating system connected to nearly every device we use on a daily basis. Seems like science-fiction-but are we starting to live in this kind of world?

Airborne Drones on Patrol

07/13/17, 08:50 AM | Unmanned & Other Topics | Analysis and Trends

Autonomous drones are set to take over border patrols, crime hotspot monitoring and more, says South Africa's Airborne Drones.
