An Uber self-driving car struck and killed a pedestrian Sunday night in Tempe, Arizona. The preliminary investigation is underway, but Tempe police said the car was in autonomous mode at the time of the crash, was traveling about 40 MPH, and did not show any signs of slowing down. Uber certainly has a recording of…

The trucking industry is heading for an autonomous future. Self-driving trucks have been in the works for several years – Daimler introduced in 2014 the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 – but developments within the last year show the transformation is moving full steam ahead. The tests being done currently are limited to semi-autonomous systems that…

One of the major challenges in the robotics industry is creating robots that are inspired by nature. This is no easy task, of course, and many of the major challenges associate with creating bio-inspired robots haven’t changed in years. Materials that couple sensing, actuation, computation, and communication must be developed before bio-inspired robots take off. And…
