For a service robot moving through an office, recognizing "furniture" is useful. When the robot has to plan a route or ...

Sonair is pushing towards a new sensor built on 3D ultrasonic technology, giving autonomous robotics the power to see and make the right decisions. Ralph W. Bernstein is the senior business developer ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Inbolt raised $12.5 million for an AI robot vision system that upgrades the robots factories already own. Here are the ...

When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated machines controlled by intricate programming and powered by advanced ...

Building an animatronic robot head with 3D printing, combining custom parts, electronics, and mechanical movement.

The fashion industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the introduction of a 3D robot loom by the company Unspun. This technology aims to produce custom-fitted clothing on demand, ...

An experimental new non-electronic bot, however, can be 3D-printed all in one piece, and it's powered by nothing but air. The soft-bodied robot was created by postdoctoral scholar Yichen Zhai and ...

Simon is a Computer Science BSc graduate who has been writing about technology since 2014, and using Windows machines since 3.1. After working for an indie game studio and acting as the family's go-to ...

Multiple disease sites are common in clinical practice. In the brain, for instance, blocked blood vessels can cause strokes, in which the lack of oxygen rapidly damages brain cells. If multiple ...

Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. That is ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.
