Sep 25, 2016 @ 18:43 | Science of Safety – Portsmouth Robotics Demonstration Two of DOE’s premier national labs – Savannah River and Sandia – provide technical leadership and coordination in addition to demonstrating some of their technologies. Two other world-class federal labs provided their technologies – NASA and JHU-APL, which is a university affiliated […]
Sep 19, 2016 @ 19:19 | The SMORES modules can connect to one another using four electro-permanent (EP) magnets on each face to Accomplishing Tasks. SMORES (Self-assembling Modular Robot for Extreme Shape-shifting) is a modular robot developed at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. Each module has four degrees of freedom (pan, tilt, and left/right wheels). […]
Jul 28, 2016 @ 18:37 | While developing microswimmer robots for surgical and targeted drug delivery applications, Drexel researchers demonstrated the chain-like robots ability to split apart, operate individually, then link back together. Drexel University researchers, led by MinJun Kim, PhD, a professor in the College of Engineering, have successfully pulled off a feat that […]
May 17, 2016 @ 22:23 | Researchers at the University of Sheffield have created a set of swimming modular robots which could be used during underwater search and rescue operations. The researchers are presenting their research work and findings in this week at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2016) – the world’s largest […]
May 29, 2015 @ 22:36 | We have different robots for different tasks. The geometry of the robot depends upon the task assigned to the robot and the working environment in which robot operates. For example, generally in industry, robots in form of manipulator is required to assemble the parts, mobile platform is required for […]
