Modern factories and warehouses need to be reconfigurable, responsive, and efficient to survive. Designed to address these conditions, OTTO uses the same underlying self-driving technology popularized by the Google self-driving car. The system delivers dynamic and efficient transport in increasingly congested industrial operations. Traditional material handling systems require costly and rigid changes to infrastructure, cannot […]
Today complex diseases like cancer is medically almost exclusively treated by combining several different drugs. These combinations are typically composed from drugs that show effect on their own, but do not necessarily constitute the best possible combinations. The new robot system finds optimal treatment combinations and was developed by a research group led by Dr […]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing a highly capable robotic arm that could make such a space “transportation hub” possible in the relatively near future, said former NASA astronaut Pam Melroy, deputy director of DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office. “We think that these space capabilities are not just about a single monolithic satellite […]
26 September 2015 | The Robot With a “Human” Body – The Hunt for AI – BBC Published on Sep 26, 2015 Marcus Du Sautoy meets a robot that mimics the human body and can even interact but will it be able to achieve it’s own artificial intelligence? Taken from The Hunt for AI. Get […]
The Volvo Group is currently working on a joint venture together with Chalmers University of Technology and Mälardalen University in Sweden, Penn State University in the United States, and the waste recycling company Renova, to develop a robot that interacts with the refuse truck and its driver to accomplish the work. The project is called […]
22 September 2015 | Novel active mixing and switching printheads enable 3D printing of complex fluids and gels Three dimensional printing is revolutionizing the production of new devices and structures, including soft robots, flexible electronics and engineered tissue replacements, but advances have been challenged by the inherent complexity of integrating multiple materials. Now, breaching the […]
15 September 2015 | DARPA has conducted an experimental demonstration of Robotic Landing Gear system, automated folding legs radically adapt to angled, irregular and moving surfaces for takeoff and landing on all type of terrain. Helicopters are incredibly maneuverable in the air, but during landing and takeoff their traditional skid- and wheel-based landing gear requires stable, […]
Playing Rock Paper scissors with Janken Robot Janken (rock-paper-scissors) robot is one example of human-machine cooperation systems. Human being plays one of rock, paper and scissors at the timing of one, two, three. According to the timing, the robot hand plays one of three kinds so as to beat the human being. Recognition of human […]
