Soft photonic crystal robot detects methanol
The design of the soft robot, according to its developers is unlike similar robots, moving in response to its surroundings rather than controlled via computing.
AI-based robot to reassemble relics from Pompeii
The RePAIR tech uses AI to solve puzzles, examining the dispersed pieces of a Roman vase, for instance, and determining how they fit together while a set of robotic arms physically pieces the relic together.
Team creates paper airplane-making robot
The researchers have automated the trial-and-error process of finding the appropriate design for paper airplanes, accomplishing the goal of both increasing flight time and distance.
Video: Nanosensor fingers mercury levels in water
A robotic hand equipped with a triboelectric nanosensor quickly gauges water quality.
Report: The global state of smart manufacturing
A growing number of manufacturers have deployed or plan to use smart manufacturing technology over the next one to two years.
Earthworm-inspired robot developed for underground exploration, search and rescue
To mimic the locomotion of earthworms, the IIT team constructed a peristaltic soft actuator (PSA) that elongates when air is pumped into it and that compresses when air is removed.
UST receives distinctions for cloud migration and cloud analytics from Google Cloud
The digital transformation solutions provider is recognized for technical expertise and commitment to client success throughout the cloud migration process.
Discover PRECiV: Modular and versatile microscope image and measurement software
Extend your microscope's capabilities with PRECiV software. Automate your workflow and simplify repetitive tasks today.
Smart buoy tech delivers data from the seafloor
Harvest’s recent monitoring solution developed for a client remotely records measurements, monitors the status of assets on the seafloor and delivers this data via the web.
Seaweed could lead to leaner wearable tech
To make the edible sensor, the team mixed a food-grade algae with an aqueous graphene suspension, resulting in nanocomposite films that they then turned into biodegradable hydrogels that served as the foundation of the sensors.
'All-arounder' industrial robotic arm to improve pick and place applications
The Digital Robot Hosrt1000 is a robot kinematics system that is expected to replace its predecessor Horst900 with its improved range and payload — an 8 kg payload and 1,018 reach, specifically.
Safety standard for autonomous vehicles now covers trucks
A new edition of the UL Standards & Engagement Standard for Evaluation of Autonomous Products now covers autonomous trucking.
Angle-measuring robots could help breed better plants
The team developed what it calls AngleNet, which is a combination of hardware and software that makes data collection on leaf angles more efficient than conventional methods carried out manually with protractors.
Biobased dielectric hydraulic lubricants perform like synthetics
A direct replacement for mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids, Bio-Ultimax is ideal for hydraulic systems where low toxicity, biodegradability and non-bioaccumulation properties are required.
Fluoride biosensor helps nonexperts check water quality
Field tests in rural Kenya confirmed that water testing for fluoride can be easily used outside of a lab and accurately interpreted by nonexperts.
Industrial drone course launched by ECITB
The course is intended to train employees in the use of drones in industrial environments — the oil and gas, renewables, rail and construction sectors, for instance — for inspection and similar tasks.
Why optical displacement sensors replace tactile sensors
Displacement sensors are used to measure the distance between an object’s position and reference location.
Video: Meet the new ODM robot from AGILOX at PROMAT 2023
Meet the fleet of AGILOX autonomous mobile robots live and performing in a swarm.
Patent could enable Ford vehicles to repossess themselves
This so-called “repossession computer” could gradually, following the issuance of several alerts about late or non-payment, disable features of the vehicle.
New fluid pumping discovery may reduce fluid transport costs
The team determined that when a fluid is pumped through a pipe intermittently, it reduces the cost of transport significantly.
