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…

We find inspiration where we can. In this case, it came from bugs. Drones, rovers, and legged robots perform many tasks, from autonomously monitoring crops in greenhouses to last-kilometer delivery. These applications need robots to operate…

Researchers at the University of Central Florida developed a device for artificial intelligence that mimics the eye's retina, which could lead to advanced AI that instantly recognizes what it sees. The development could lead to advanced…

Researchers at the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Smart Materials Lab published in the journal Nature Communications that organic crystals can serve as efficient and sustainable energy conversion materials for advanced technologies such as robotics…

Smark and affordable robot manufacturer Ally Robotics launched a new campaign to raise up to $8.5 million in seed capital via equity crowdfunding site WAX. Restaurant automation leader Miso Robotics is currently backing Ally, even going so…

As long as things stay the same, warehouse robots accurately pick and place for shipment without problems. However, change the process, and you must reprogram the robot and retrain the system. MIT researchers developed a training…

One of the great fears regarding robots is which jobs they will take over and when? And, for each of us, will our career be unscathed? In a recent study in Science Robotics, roboticists from EPFL and economists from the University of…

NASA's Perseverance mission is taking the first-ever recordings of the soundscape on Mars. Perseverance recorded the first sounds from Mars on February 19, 2021, the day after its arrival. The result? Mars is quiet, and natural sound…

ROBOT “BUGS” THAT CAN GO JUST ABOUT ANYWHEREThese ancient creatures can squeeze through the tiniest cracks, fit snugly into tight spaces and survive in harsh environments: There aren’t many spaces that are off-limits to an insect. That’s…

A University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering research team announced a first--designing the basic elements for logic operations using liquid crystal. The team published their findings in Science Advances. Applications…
