Jun 14, 2016 @ 18:41 | Berkeley Lab is building and testing a robotic array for a telescope project that will produce a 3-D map of the universe including millions of galaxies. Ten robots will be tested in a prototype called ProtoDESI, and the full project, called DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument), will feature 5,000 […]
Jun 1, 2016 @ 21:59 | VU Amsterdam | Netherlands | Science fiction is becoming reality: Under the project, “Robot Baby” researchers at Vrije University (VU) Amsterdam demonstrated that robots can have children. This breakthrough is a significant first step in the Industrial Evolution and can play an important role in, for instance, the colonization of […]
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 […]
21 January 2016 | Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Sikorsky, A Lockheed Martin Company, using a UH-60MU Black Hawk helicopter enabled with Sikorsky’s MATRIX Technology and CMU’s Land Tamer autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), recently participated in a joint autonomy demonstration that proved the capability of new, ground-air cooperative missions. Such missions could prevent warfighters’ […]
22 August 2015 | What happens when you combine 83 robots, 733 motors, 1,004 LEDs, 32 cameras and 88 Intel Edison based-platforms? An army of Intel Spiderbots of course! Intel has shown of an alarming glimpse of the future – a swarm of robot spiders that can be controlled with a flick of the wrist. This […]
12 August 2015, MIT – To achieve a common goal with a team of multiple robots is very difficult because the human world is full of so much uncertainty. Specifically, robots deal with three kinds of uncertainty, related to sensors, outcomes, and communications. There should be some policy to deal with these uncertainties and that […]
7 August 2015 – Swarm robotics deals with the control of large groups of relatively simple robots so that they perform tasks that go beyond their individual capabilities. Many biological systems execute tasks by dividing them into finer sub-tasks first, may be you have seen Ants working together in a large scale to achieve a […]
May be you have seen ants working together in a large scale to achieve a common goal. It looks very interesting but more than that it is very challenging job. By seeing them first question comes in our mind that How they are communicating and coordinating to each other to accomplish the target? And how […]
