Hiking trails can contain many types of terrain: dirt, scree, mud, and areas where tree roots snake out over the walking space. None of these are conducive to robot maneuvering. However, ANYmal, a quadrupedal robot from Robotic Systems Lab…

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…

Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and drone applications, in the realm of industrial mobility is gaining traction due to the current labor shortage. This shortage and the subsequent application uptick have been further exacerbated by the…

Advances in a technology that makes sense of brain signals, physical reservoir computing, could contribute to creating AI machines that think like us. Just published in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing, researchers from the…

NASA wants young engineers to design a robot for excavation on the Moon. The Lunabotics Junior Contest, open to K-12 students in U.S. public and private schools (and home-schoolers), is a collaboration between NASA and Future Engineers. The…

Green Hills Software announced that it has working prototypes for the Arm® Cortex-A78AE core, establishing a clear path for early adopters of the core. Leading the offering is the INTEGRITY® real-time operating system (RTOS) and C/C++…

An interdisciplinary research center funded by philanthropist Lisa Yang hopes to mitigate disability through technologies that meld human physiology with electromechanics. A more thorough understanding of the brain is opening many…

Farmers Insurance announced that it will use a digitally controlled mobile robot for in-field catastrophe claims handling and non-catastrophe property inspections, making it one of the first national P&C insurers to deploy a robotic…

Shape memory polymers that return to their original shapes after applying heat or light are thought to be a natural for soft robotics. However, they lack the ability to store sufficient energy. Published in ACS Central Science, is a…
