Robots are developed for a wide variety of uses. These include assembly, welding, monitoring marine life, rescue and recovery and even vacuuming the floor. Because of this, there is a multitude of ...

An insect-scale robot that jumps using only light has completed 188 continuous leaps without ...

Robot navigation systems can be complicated to design — they need software algorithms, electronics, and mechanical components. They must be able to move accurately, and they need sensors to gather ...

(Nanowerk News) Robotics researchers have already made great strides in developing sensors that can perceive changes in position, pressure, and temperature – all of which are important for ...

(Nanowerk News) Achieving human-level dexterity during manipulation and grasping has been a long-standing goal in robotics. To accomplish this, having a reliable sense of tactile information and force ...

Biological systems can actively sense and adjust their mechanical response to changes in their environment. Until now, the mainstream research on biomimetic robotics is to mimic the complex motion of ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

A team of researchers at the University of Washington has unveiled MilliMobile, a tiny self-driving robot that relies solely on ambient light or radio waves for power. This robot is equipped with a ...

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

According to its developers, the soft robot automatically bends, snaps and resets itself without a single electronic component, completing 188 continuous leaps in the lab. Source: ...
