Space Robot Technology Helps Self-Driving Cars and Drones On Earth

By Sarah Derouin |Jun 17, 2017 @ 09:06 | Stanford engineer’s have developed a Space robots that are traveling through space, hauling debris and exploring distant asteroids, may hold the technological key to problems facing drones and autonomous cars here on Earth. The key to making fleets of self-driving cars and grocery delivery by drones […]

Robotics kit for Students to Automate Biology Experiments

Robotics kit for Students to Automate Biology Experiments

Mar 22, 2017 @ 19:55 | By Andrew Myers Modern biology labs often use robotic assemblies to drop precise amounts of fluids into experimental containers. Now students and teachers can create inexpensive automated systems to do this in clubs or classrooms. Elementary and secondary school students who later want to become scientists and engineers often get […]

How to Teach Autonomous Vehicles to Take Driving Decisions like Human?

How to Teach Autonomous Vehicles to Take Driving Decisions like Human?

Jul 30, 2016 @ 20:59 |  Stanford engineers are conducting experiments to translate social behavior into algorithms so that self-driving cars will maintain vehicle safety and passenger comfort. Autonomous robotics has gone through a lot of evolution in the last few decades. One of the technology that has be most talked and invested on is […]

A Robotic Stingray may Help to Understand Working of Heart

A Robotic Stingray may Help to Understand Working of Heart

Jul 8, 2016 @ 21:30 |  Bio-Inspired researchers have designed a miniature bio-hybrid robotic stingray that could help our understanding of the heart. Robotic Stingray is neither fully living animal nor fully artificial robot; it is the hybrid of both. It has an elastomeric body enclosing a micro-fabricated gold skeleton (non living) with rat heart […]

Stanford Jackrabbot, A Social Robot to Understand Human Behavior

Jun 1, 2016 @ 21:03 | Stanford| USA | Human behavior cannot be predicted by any mathematical rule; human may behave differently in different situations and also changes over time. So to navigate among the humans on sidewalks and mingle with humans in crowded places, robots have to understand the unwritten rules of human behavior. […]

Gecko Inspired Gripper for Object Handling in Space

Gecko Inspired Gripper for Object Handling in Space

May 19, 2016 @ 14:32 |  The conventional ways of object handling in space are Compress opposing faces of the object to generate friction (as in the International Space Station’s Canadarm) Grapple around features to lock the object in place (as in the Orbital Express Capture System) However, these conventional methods often require cooperative objects […]

OceanOne, Stanford’s Humanoid Robot, Explores an Abandoned Shipwreck

Apr 28, 2016 @ 14:35 |  Oussama Khatib, Professor of Computer science department, Stanford and his team made a humanoid robot, OceanOne, for exploration in deep oceans. OceanOne outfitted with human vision, haptic force feedback and an artificial brain – in essence, a virtual diver. The flagship of King Louis XIV sank here in 1664, […]

Stanford Researchers unveil Next Generation Virtual Reality Headset

Stanford Researchers unveil Next Generation Virtual Reality Headset

8 August 2015 – Assistant Professor Gordon Wetzstein’s new Stanford Computational Imaging Group has developed a light-field stereoscope that creates a dramatically more natural virtual reality experience than what is present in today’s leading headsets. Try on any virtual reality headset and within a few minutes the sense of wonder might wear off and leave you […]
