  • Deep Robotics introduces new quadruped robot

    Deep Robotics has introduced its X30 quadruped robot, which has been designed for possible use cases such as research, power station inspection, factories, pipeline corridors, emergency rescue, fire detection and more.

  • Sandy the robot keeps beaches clean

    According to its developers, the robot cleans the coast, thereby protecting local ecosystems while avoiding obstacles.

  • Australian company re-introduces its brick-laying robot

    The Hadrian X, which has been in development since 2015, now features both improved speed and agility.

  • This sensor promises to improve the grasp of robotic grippers

    MIT’s GelSight Svelte sensor uses cameras to cull information about the objects to be grasped — much like the sensory receptors in human skin, which send information to the brain about what is in its grasp.

  • How will the manufacturing industry use ChatGPT?

    This follow-up feature will examine the impact ChatGPT is expected to have on the manufacturing industry.

  • Detecting fuel cell surface defects in real-time

    This approach for real-time detection of micro defects on the fuel cell surface during the production phase is based on deep learning.

  • Ultrasonic Flowmeter offers ASCII flow streaming

    Flow measurements are streamed directly over the USB connection to the PC.

  • The role of advanced sensor technology in cultivated meat optimization

    This application note highlights critical technical challenges in cultivated meat production and the role of advanced in-line sensors for optimizing critical process parameters.

  • Magnetic crawler robots to perform marine antifouling

    The Roverclean 3.0 magnetic crawler robots are expected to reduce hull fouling on ships, which will subsequently reduce fuel consumption, costs and, ultimately, carbon emissions.

  • Study: Drones deliver opioid overdose kits faster than ambulances

    Using data from real-world fatal opioid overdoses, the team determined that commercial-off-the-shelf drones could have reached 78% of cases within seven minutes, a dramatic increase on the 14% reached by ambulances.

  • Shape-shifting robot designed for oil rig inspections, search and rescue missions

    The tetrahedron-shaped robot can alter its shape and size for applications such as oil rig inspections, search and rescue missions and space exploration.

  • Altech Smart Safety System webinar

    SMART safety system plug-in series. Safety with OSSD outputs and IO-Link compatible. PLC and NFC diagnostics.

  • Shape-changing robotic microfliers eyed for environmental data collection

    Inspired by origami, the microfliers, which weigh around 400 milligrams, can reportedly float roughly 131 ft above the ground.

  • Halliburton develops autonomous device to enhance oil, gas recovery

    EquiFlow Density AICD is engineered to improve reservoir management, enhance oil and natural gas recovery and optimize production to provide higher revenue potential and increased asset value.

  • UK firm unveils plans for its new disposable combat UAS

    Dubbed "Jackdaw," the UAS concept will reportedly be designed for swarming and collaborative autonomous operations, including surveillance, electronic warfare, airborne decoy and threat representation.

  • Companies jointly develop a mine-clearing tank

    The aptly named WiSENT 1 Mine Clearing Tank (MCT) reportedly does as advertised: it digs up landmines for safe disposal.

  • This PLatypus streamlines solar panel audits

    A new device cuts time and costs for inspections of solar installations after potentially damaging weather.

  • Raise the intelligence of scanning electron microscopy

    New scanning electron microscopes incorporate the next level of intelligent technology and automation for ease of operation and fast, high-resolution imaging and analysis.

  • Increasing coding literacy in elementary schools — Preparing for a tech-driven future

    While discussions on coding education often gravitate toward middle schools, high schools or even bootcamps for adults, there is growing evidence to suggest that foundational tech skills can — and perhaps should — be cultivated far earlier in the educational journey.

  • Downsized EMC test chamber delivers big results

    The smaller-scale solution reflected in the recently developed SpaceSaver 26H electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chamber offers a new approach in radio frequency shielding design.
