Using a highly-scalable approach to creating dense sensor networks, yet requiring only a pair of address lines, these researchers have taken inspiration from the human somatosensory system for a rapid-response sensitive sense of electronic touch.
Using satellite imagery or road schematic maps as "side information," the ViKiNG robot can plan its own miles-long route to a goal — measurably outperforming its strongest competitors, even when its side information is inaccurate or outdated.
The Irish Manufacturing Research developed an advanced solution for automated picking of bread products, which deploys a UR 5 robot navigated by 3D vision and robotic intelligence SW from Photoneo.
An enhanced autonomous strategy for laparoscopic soft tissue surgery and demonstrated robotic laparoscopic small bowel anastomosis in phantom and in vivo intestinal tissues.
Multifunctional shape-morphing material with reversible
and rapid polymorphic reconfigurability implemented into a soft robotic morphing drone that autonomously transforms from ground to air vehicle and an underwater morphing machine.
This 3D vision system for a mobile robot picker consists of an AMR with a robotic arm equipped with the Photoneo 3D camera MotionCam-3D. The hand-eye setup allows you to scan and approach each object from an appropriate angle, distance, and position.
Human-robot interaction focuses on teaching robots from third-person observations of demonstrations to make it invariant and robust to the embodiment differences.
Article #1 of Connectivity and Sensing in Harsh Environments Series: Electrical components that enable the transfer of control and power are improving to fulfill the requirements of cutting-edge industrial applications.
Submissions received this month included articles related to instrumentation, renewable energy, robotics, automotive vehicles, and more. Presenting a small curation of all the innovative projects.
Demonstrated at a small scale in the lab, this free-positioning wireless power transfer system offers a highly robust connection to moving receivers over a wide area using a "counter-intuitive" approach.
Concentrated logistics power without the waffle – at the virtual Future of Intralogistics Days 2022 conference on March 9th and 10th, 18 famous companies will be presenting the latest intralogistics technologies. The free event is aimed at experienced intralogistics experts in the B2B sector.
Impact of personally relevant robotic failures (PeRFs) which would reduce trust in robots and robots’ likeability and willingness to use more than failures that are not personal to the user.
Designed for use in the human body for everything from drug delivery to less-invasive biopsies, these tiny microrobots operate under the control of a deep-learning system trained with no modelling or prior environmental knowledge.
