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.
Video: Help wanted in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence
Smartphone and computer users can help classify radio signals that could reveal the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life.
Vaarst to bring robotic technology to US oil and gas industry
SubSLAM is reportedly the first real-time intelligent data collection system to deliver 4K resolution video with simultaneous high-quality live 3D dense point clouds at sub-millimeter accuracy, according to the company.
When will electric vehicles outnumber ICEs?
Sales of EVs and hybrids are rising quickly and expected to triple from current levels by 2025.
New CMS HD VX multistage vacuum pumps from COVAL with added intelligence and communications capability
The CMS HD VX multistage pumps are fully connected to Industry 4.0.
Highly adaptive bearing for light-to-moderate loads in linear motion applications
The alternative to the miniature rail with recirculating balls can be used in various industries and applications such as in aircraft interiors, medical, pharma and packaging.
Robot designed to assist firefighters
The researchers suggest that the system could one day lead to the development of not only robots capable of assisting firefighters, but that also assist law enforcement and search and rescue missions.
After 50 years of R&D, hydrogen might be further than ever
Despite rounds of hype and investment, no one cars about these cars and tech remains out of reach.

One industry that has struggled with progressing rapidly, but safely, is the robotics industry.
Robot fleet to seek out space real estate
The robotic fleet is designed to explore subsurface environments of other planets — for instance, lava tubes and caves — to serve as future habitats for astronauts. Such structures would potentially shield astronauts from cosmic radiation.
Will methanol be the fuel to power clean ICEs of the future?
The alternative fuel source is gaining traction among some regions.
Why it's tough to believe the story of "El Milagro," the miracle that saved Ferrari
Umberto Maglioli did win the 1954 Carrera Panamericana, but perhaps not like the story tells.
Are companies 'greenwashing' their hybrid vehicles?
Unfortunately, some companies may exaggerate how environmentally friendly some of their hybrid cars are and cover up actual information about the lifecycle assessment of the vehicles.
Team outfits tiny drones with bat-like echolocation system
Taking inspiration from bats and other animals that rely on echolocation to navigate, the researchers outfitted an off-the-shelf small robot drone from CrazyFlie with audio hardware — including speakers and a mic — small enough so that the palm-sized drone doesn’t include bulky equipment or heavy machinery.
Recoverable, hand-held missile currently in development
The Point Blank electro-optically guided and recoverable missile can reportedly be carried in soldiers' backpacks and hand launched by soldiers or launched autonomously.
