IIoT software platform designed to revolutionize pollution control management
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) software platform is tailored for enhancing operational transparency and reporting capabilities for environmental pollution control equipment.
Tiny load switches power wearables and IoT devices
Minute, ultra-low quiescent current load switch integrated circuits deliver huge performance improvements.
Video: New gripping solution seeks to improve automation in food processing
According to its developers, the mGripAI, which relies on machine learning to understand objects, improves throughput, reduces maintenance and reduces food waste in the food processing space.
Yak-inspired robot designed for Chinese military
In addition to being used for gathering tactical battlefield data, the researchers suggest that the robot can also be used to transport supplies such as munitions and food, and could even be equipped with weapons.
The military now recruiting drones
No longer exclusive to the hobby industry, drones are proving their value in the military sector, serving as vehicles of transport, tools for surveillance and even weapons.
How the camel nose improves humidity sensor design
A new type of durable, sensitive humidity sensor was engineered by taking a page from the moisture-detecting capabilities of the camel’s nose.
Single operator controls a swarm of 130 drones
The drone swarm exercise, which was conducted both indoors and outdoors in an urban setting, was accomplished using both commercial off-the-shelf and custom-built hardware and software to ensure swarm autonomy.
NORD’s redesigned 100 frame asynchronous motors usher in a new era of modern engineering
Redesigned 3 and 4 HP motors provide additional strength, stability and cooling advantages.
Video: CES 2022 award-winning disinfecting bot launched
Using hospital-grade UVC light, the ADIBOT-A kills bacteria, viruses and fungi in indoor settings such as hospitals, schools and other high-traffic spaces. The ADIBOT-A is a build-out of last year’s stationary disinfecting ADIBOT iteration.
Greening up the factory: A guide toward sustainable manufacturing
Discover important factors for companies to consider when devising a sustainability program.
Ava Robotics debuts its facilities security robot
The Tyco Security Robot, which first made its debut as a concept robot in 2021 at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) Conference, has made its commercial debut at Intersec Dubai 2022, an international global emergency services, security and safety conference.
Sensor puts biofuel-producing yeast in the spotlight
A fluorescent biosensor can accelerate the development of yeast strains to produce branched-chain higher alcohols and advanced biofuels.
Researchers track food intake of nursing home residents using AI
To develop the system, the researchers consulted personal support workers, dietitians and long-term care workers. The developers envision the technology being added to tablet computers already employed by front-line staff.
Video: Cornell scientist developing a robotic arm to feed those with spinal injuries
Bhattacharjee suggests that the machine learning algorithms could personalize the process by teaching the robotic arm to learn a user’s preferences in terms of feeding, including bite transfer and bite acquisition.
Video: Pocket-sized tool for testing live fiber optics
The handheld tester detects invisible near-infrared wavelengths used in fiber optic communications without the need for setup or interpretation of measurement readings.
Video: Robotic hand deftly crushes cans, handles eggs
During testing, the robotic hand could also press buttons, use tweezers to handle small objects, squeeze soccer balls and cut sheets of paper using scissors.
Predicting earthquake damage on bridge structures
Bridges all over the world are developed with the potential to withstand earthquakes. Concrete reinforced with steel are utilized to handle bridge shaking and movement, but once the seismic event is over, the bridges always require inspection and often need repair.
Video: Tail-sitter drone takes off, lands without a runway
Called a tail-sitter drone, the Vetal tips itself forward when in flight to propel itself and is capable of landing on moving objects such as ships, trains and trucks.
Watch this shape-shifting drone from UC Berkeley
The Midair Reconfigurable Quadcopter can squeeze through narrow openings, reconfigure itself to grasp objects and perch on hanging wires such as power lines.
Faulhaber raises the bar with new AM3248 stepper motor
Offering up to 10,000 rpm, the motor can achieve five times the speed of comparable stepper motors.
