Janet, the robot waitress at Denny's on Kidder Street in Wilkes-Barre Twp., makes rounds during its shift.
Customers look on as a robot waiter carries food to a table at Denny's on Kidder Street in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
Customers dining at Denny's restaurants in Wilkes-Barre and Dickson City are now greeted by robot servers that bring their pancakes, bacon and eggs.
Want to Get Humans to Trust Robots? Let Them Dance - Scientific American
A dancer shrouded in shades of blue rises to her feet and steps forward on stage. Under a spotlight, she gazes at her partner: a tall, sleek robotic arm.
“When a human moves one joint, it isn’t the only thing that moves. The rest of our body follows along,” says Amit Rogel, a music technology graduate researcher at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Robots use fear to fight invasive fish -- ScienceDaily
The invasive mosquitofish ( Gambusia holbrooki ) chews off the tails of freshwater fishes and tadpoles, leaving the native animals to perish while dining on other fishes' and amphibians' eggs.
To fight the invasive fish, the international team, composed of biologists and engineers from Australia, the U.S., and Italy, turned to its natural predator -- the largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) -- for inspiration.
Q&A: Cathy Wu on developing algorithms to safely integrate robots into our world | MIT News |
Cathy Wu is the Gilbert W. Winslow Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a member of the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society.
A: My parents always wanted a doctor in the family. However, I'm bad at following instructions and became the wrong kind of doctor! Inspired by my physics and computer science classes in high school, I decided to study engineering. I wanted to help as many people as a medical doctor could.
Algorithm Uses Evolution To Design Robots - IEEE Spectrum
Imagine you're running a race. To complete it, your body needs to be strong, and your brain needs to keep track of the route, control your pace, and prevent you from tripping.
The same is true for robots. To accomplish tasks, they need both a well-designed body and a "brain," or controller. Engineers can use various simulations to improve a robot's control and make it smarter. But there are few ways to optimize a robot's design at the same time.
These soft robots could one day clean up the seas, powered by light and water
Researchers at UC Riverside have developed a light-powered soft robot that can swim along the water's surface, powered by sunlight.
They envision their robotic strip as eventually being able to sop up oil and other contaminants, cruising around perpetually and keeping things clean — especially useful for pollution spills in remote locations where sending ships and human crews is costly and difficult.
North Fayette shapes custom robots - The Citizen
The Dolphins love showing off their creativity. To showcase their knowledge of shapes, North Fayette Elementary kindergarteners crafted their very own robots.
The yearly class project builds on their study of shapes, both solid and flat. Students are allowed to be as creative as they like in the creation of their robot, and they are built at home to support the family engagement component of learning.
