  • Engineer improves traffic stop safety with robot cop

    A police robot that can approach drivers and issue tickets without human police officers leaving their patrol cars.

  • India to patrol borders with robots

    Scientists in India have been developing artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots to patrol that country’s borders, according to reports.

  • Watch a breakthrough in bioprinting replacement organs

    A new open-source bioprinting method enables production of the complex vasculature needed to supply nutrients to densely populated tissues.

  • New high pressure hydraulic hose for large mobile equipment

    The R50TC/R56TC ParLock Multispiral hoses for working pressures from 50 to 56 MPa were introduced at industrial technology trade fair Hannover Messe 2019.

  • Researchers develop diaper sensors to detect UTIs

    Researchers from Purdue University have developed a technique for detecting urinary tract infections (UTIs) by embedding disposable sensor devices into diapers.

  • Researchers working on wireless vital sign monitoring using radar

    Researchers from the University of Waterloo in the U.K. have developed a radar system capable of wirelessly monitoring patient vital signs without attaching patients to machines via troublesome wires.

  • Harvesting green energy from white snow

    A compact, low-cost triboelectric generator yields power from the static electricity produced as positively-charged snow comes into contact with negatively-charged silicone.

  • Startup using AI, data, facial recognition tech to help find missing children in India

    An India-based startup is helping law enforcement locate missing children using artificial intelligence (AI), data and facial recognition technology.

  • Controlling fluid viscosity in tank heating applications with electric heaters

    Whether it is ensuring chemical reactions occur at the optimal temperature, preventing liquids from undergoing phase change to solids (freezing) or regulating fluid viscosity to guarantee smooth flow, precise fluid-temperature control is crucial to industrial operations.

  • Microrobots may someday perform dental cleanings

    Using one robotic system designed for surfaces and a second designed for confined spaces, the team comprised of dental clinicians and engineers was able to show that microrobots could destroy biofilms with catalytic activity.

  • New geothermal heat pump equipped with Wi-Fi

    Bosch’s new CDi series Greensource geothermal heat pump comes equipped with a microprocessor-based control board that provides for real-time feedback along with wireless connectivity for start-up and commissioning.

  • Cold rolling delivers superior gear strength and finish

    Regardless of shape or size, every gear must have substantial strength, transmit motion uniformly and resist wear over time. The key to a useful gear is in the manufacturing method.

  • New control block for construction machinery working hydraulics

    The RS20 modular, load-independent, flow-sharing valve manifold platform was introduced at Bauma 2019, Germany’s largest construction machinery trade fair.

  • MOF-coated textiles provide chemical weapon and agent protection

    When used to functionalize fibers, the water-stable copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) film captures and immobilizes hazardous chemicals.

  • British startup to test tech to fight air pollution, create food additive

    Researchers from Imperial College of London and British startup Arborea are preparing to test technology that could battle air pollution while simultaneously creating a food additive.

  • Researchers suggest that facial recognition tech works with half of the face

    Using artificial intelligence (AI), the team demonstrated that it was possible to accurately identify people when only half or three-quarters of their faces were visible, achieving 100% recognition rates. The study is reportedly the first of its kind to apply machine learning to gauge recognition rates for just parts of a face.

  • Keeping flammable media contained during a fire

    Where do large quantities of flammable liquid in the tanks and pipes go during a fire?

  • An AI approach to improve IVF success

    The method can identify with a great degree of accuracy whether a 5-day-old, in vitro fertilized human embryo has a high potential to progress to a successful pregnancy.

  • Seeking welder with 'golden arm,' developer turns to cobot system

    The Artificial Intelligence Pipe Welding System, or AIPW, does what only the most expert of human welders can do.

  • Chemical toxicity testing without animal models

    Evaluation of chemical toxicity has traditionally relied on the use of laboratory animal models or in vitro bioassays, protocols that may soon be eliminated in favor of a low-cost, high-speed algorithm.
