Mitsubishi tapped to design Mars moon lander
The MMX's mission is to determine the origins of Mars and its two moons, as well as learn how water and organic substances became part of the primordial solar system.
Daimler and Torc expand public road testing for self-driving trucks
The goal is to collect more data on different roads to further Level 4 autonomous driving development.
Watch: WellConnect app for pump system installers and water well contractors
The app offers a single platform for the digitization of installation records, including drilling logs, completion and downhole data, pump history and maintenance history.
Artificial skin may pave way for empathetic robot caregivers
A team of researchers from Japan’s Osaka University has developed artificial skin that enables robots to feel pain, which may eventually encourage robots to show and feel empathy for humans, making such robots potentially appropriate for future caregiving applications.
Scientists to study gamers' brainwaves to improve robot swarms
With funding from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), scientists from the University of Buffalo are turning to gamers to help improve and enhance the capabilities of robot swarms.
High-performance, small-frame BLDC motors
The trend toward miniaturization continues to reduce size, weight and, ultimately, cost. This trend is also driving the need for highly efficient brushless DC (BLDC) motor solutions.
Watch: Yamaha accepting orders for high-performance electric motor prototype
Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. is accepting orders for a high-performance electric motor prototype capable of producing industry-leading high power density for automobiles and other types of vehicles.
Social robot teaches students cybersecurity lessons through storytelling
Researchers from the University of Delaware have programmed a social robot to teach young students about cybersecurity.
Why did a Tesla veer left before a fatal crash?
Data show that the Tesla's Autopilot feature was engaged continuously for the final 18 minutes and 55 seconds of the crash trip.
Watch: Autonomous vehicles may be vulnerable to phantom objects in their path
Autopilots and advanced driving assistance systems in semi-autonomous or fully autonomous cars consider depthless projections of objects to be real.
NASA builds structure for keeping fluids cool in space
A team from NASA has developed a vacuum chamber to prevent critical fluids like fuel from boiling off when introduced to the extreme temperatures of space.
