Scientists developed a robotic hand made from soft materials with an advantage over conventional metal robots. First author Robert Katzschmann, professor of robotics at ETH Zurich, claims it is the most human-like robotic hand available,…

Untethered soft robots mechanically adapt to their surroundings and tasks and are becoming more agile and controlled. Cornell University researchers led by Kirstin Petersen, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering,…

Inspired by sea cucumbers—yes, you read that right—engineers designed mini robots that shift between liquid and solid states. The shape-shifting robots are magnetic and can conduct electricity. Researchers put the robots through an obstacle…

Atlas, Boston Dynamics' most dynamic humanoid robot, is again demonstrating its agility—delivering a tool bag to an absent-minded construction worker on scaffolding. When I watched the video, I couldn't help but feel there must be a person…

University of Tokyo researchers created a controllable robotic finger covered with living skin tissue. It has living cells and supporting organic material grown on top of it, providing shaping and strength. As the skin is soft and can heal…

Researchers at Georgia State designed an artificial vision device that incorporates a novel vertical stacking architecture. The result is greater depth of color recognition and scalability on a micro-level. The new development is published…

Zoomlion just launched the first collaborative intelligent robotic excavator with a human-machine interaction system that integrates artificial intelligence and intelligent control. The excavator interacts with the operator, performing…

Astronauts use a load plate to install the extravehicular experimental load in the space station. The loading happens in a hazardous environment. In a research paper recently published in Space: Science & Technology, Dr. Sun from the…

Industrial or collaborative? This is the question everyone is asking. We all want to get the most out of our production, however the demarcation line between the two options is not as clear as you might think.

The University of Southampton and University of Edinburgh scientists developed a flexible underwater robot that propels itself through water using the same style as the Aurelia aurita jellyfish, the world’s most efficient swimmer. The use…
