Robots are rapidly making their way into a variety of settings, including industrial and manufacturing facilities. So far, they have shown great potential for speeding up and automating a number of manufacturing processes by substituting or assisting human workers on assembly lines. To be adopted on a large scale, however, robots for manufacturing should be both efficient and relatively affordable.
Swimming in sync is one of the most important lessons a school of fish can learn: The coordination helps them find food—and evade predators. But when scientists try to train robots to match this stunning natural feat, most fall short. Now, researchers have ...
Back in October 2017, a postdoctoral researcher named Robert Weryk at the University of Hawaii was sifting through the usual data stream from the Pan-STARRS astronomical survey of the sky when he noticed an unexpected object.
If you hate cooking, but also don't want to keep throwing money at your local eateries, this robotic chef might be the answer to your problem. Launched ...
Hubble only orbits the Earth from a distance of 340 miles and it has to contend with light pollution from an effect called zodiacal light. Our corner of the solar system is full of dust shed by asteroids and comets and those dust particles reflect sunlight, which creates ...
Embodied Inc. unveiled Moxie in April. The robot, which facilitates “play-based learning that is paced to weekly themes and missions with content ...
Reported first by AFP, the fish-robot is called Bluebot and it is fitted with cameras as well as blue LED lights that help it recognise the direction and ...
In April, Bengaluru-based Invento Robotics launched C-Astra, a robot that helps screen for COVID-19 symptoms and disinfects common areas. The ...
Well, if you thought we were leaving weird news behind in the new year, think again. Reports this weekend are coming out that a sign of extraterrestrial life could have made its way to our solar system in 2017. And if you think it's coming from a wackadoo ...
Experts are closer than ever to creating a sophisticated and highly secure quantum internet. Scientists have now been able to transmit quantum information over 27 miles (44 km). Data accuracy (data accuracy) and transmission distance are essential ...
