Four-armed robotic surgical system developed for laparoscopic surgery
The EPFL team claims that their four-armed robotic surgical system, which is designed to perform laparoscopic surgeries — surgeries that are performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions with the aid of a camera — is the first of its kind.
Radar-targeting battle gear designed to destroy drones
The Smash Hopper performs according to remote commands given by the operator. Meanwhile, RADA’s radar detects drones from many kilometers away and alerts combat units of possible threats.
New algorithm identifies biological sex via dental X-rays
Researchers developed and trained an algorithm to determine the biological sex of a subject using dental X-rays with a 94% rate of accuracy.
MIT builds magnetic robot that promises to inch its way into human blood vessels
The soft robot moves via an inchworm-like mechanism that is achieved via magnetized rubber polymer spirals.
Waterloo team breaks voice authentication within six tries
Researchers created an approach that avoids spoofing countermeasures, fooling most voice authentication systems within six attempts.
The AutoCado automates guacamole prep at Chipotle
The aptly named AutoCado can reportedly take over the manual tasks of guacamole prep — cutting, coring and peeling avocados — thereby saving both time and resources.
A digital twin for the first commercial fusion facility
Supercomputing, artificial intelligence and the Industrial Metaverse will advance development of the U.K.'s prototype fusion power plant.
Sensor chip speeds disease diagnostics
The device can detect many disease pathogens with 10 times the sensitivity of currently available methods.
Clearpath Robotics announces Husky Observer
The mobile robotic system is designed to accelerate inspection solutions.
Taco expands light commercial ECM pump offering
These self-sensing, close-coupled, mechanically sealed in-line circulator pumps exceed industry and efficiency standards with an advanced hydraulic design.
Bolting Systems announces new hydraulic pump
The Bolting Systems PE60 series pumps meet a wide array of high-pressure bolting tool applications requiring durability, speed and performance. These include power generation, machinery maintenance, construction and utility applications.
This drone can enter burning buildings, woodlands
Composed of thermal aerogel insulation material, the FireDrone also features an onboard cooling system that enables it to withstand temperatures up to 200° C for 10 minutes.
ARC executive interview with Jeremy M. Friedmar of Belden
Learn about Belden's transformation to a solutions provider and how Belden empowers its customers on their digital transformation journeys.
Kollmorgen Express Delivery shortens lead times for the company’s most popular motion products
The company has implemented a new classification for select products that can be delivered within an accelerated timeframe.
3D printed wall can communicate with its developers
The sensors provide real-time data about temperature, strain, relative humidity, pressure, electrical resistivity, and electrochemical potential — metrics that could potentially aid researchers in both detecting and correcting structural flaws before they occur.
Free drive technology webinars from Faulhaber
Webinars on stepper motors, noise development in miniature drives, how linear drives function or selecting the right encoder are available.
High-speed robotic parcel sorting system introduced by Ambi Robotics
Ambi Robotics has introduced its AmbiSort B-Series, a modular parcel induction and sorting solution designed to automate the tasks of inducting and sorting parcels into gaylord destinations, and thus automating the labor-intensive manual sorting of supply chain operations.
Automating compliance with nuclear arms agreements
N-SpecDir Bot can reportedly be programmed to detect a nearby source of neutrons — sub-atomic particles from the nucleus of an atom — and the direction they are coming from as well as the intensity of their source.
SABIC launches pilot blockchain project to advance emissions tracking and reductions across value chains
The project will evaluate the use of blockchain software in tracing the carbon footprint of specific material streams from end to end.
Raspberry-picking robot trained on fake fruit
Considered a particularly difficult task, picking raspberries involves multiple skills, according to the researchers. The robot must be able to determine which fruit is ripe and to be capable of picking it without damaging it.
