Oct 23, 2016 @ 16:29 | These future wearable technology will move around the human body, and will react to its host and the environment What if wearable devices could move around the body? For example,fingernail-sized robots that could seamlessly assemble into a wristwatch or a nametag. Current wearable technologies are immobile devices that are […]
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). […]
Sep 8, 2016 @ 02:10 | By Jason Maderer | maderer@gatech.edu With this new algorithm, the robots are using a set of safe states and barrier certificates to ensure each stays in its own safe set throughout the entire maneuver. When roboticists create behaviors for teams of robots, they first build algorithms that focus on the intended […]
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 […]
Jun 30, 2016 @ 20:23 | KTH | Sometimes all it takes to get help from someone is to wave at them, or point. Now the same is true for robots. Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology have completed work on an EU project aimed at enabling robots to cooperate with one another on […]
Jun 23, 2016 @ 16:58 | microsswarmframework – a ROS based programming framework for swarm robotics using Buzz programming language 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 […]
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 […]
