Robotic innovation continues spreading across the retail enterprise – popping up to automate an increasing variety of tasks.
In September 2021, I wrote a column about how robots a re becoming a mainstream feature throughout the retail enterprise. In the five months since, robotic automation has only become an even more popular means of streamlining retail workflows.
Tiny robots made in Mexico to explore moon in scientific first | Reuters
MEXICO CITY, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Five tiny robots designed and made in Mexico will blast off for the moon later this year, part of a first-of-its-kind scientific mission that envisions the two-wheeled bots scrambling across the lunar surface while taking sophisticated measurements.
Fingertip sensitivity for robots -- ScienceDaily
In a paper published on February 23, 2022 in Nature Machine Intelligence , a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) introduce a robust soft haptic sensor named "Insight" that uses computer vision and a deep neural network to accurately estimate where
The thumb-shaped sensor is made of a soft shell built around a lightweight stiff skeleton. This skeleton holds up the structure much like bones stabilize the soft finger tissue.
Centipedes, the 'envy of engineers,' inspire a new generation of robots | Science | AAAS
One of the creepiest encounters I’ve ever had came 25 years ago, when I moved into my first house. Turning on the bathroom light early one morning, a gigantic centipede—with its blur of legs—ran up and over my foot without breaking stride.
“Their results hammer [home] the point that flexibility [makes animals] capable of a broad range of behaviors,” says Jake Socha, a comparative biomechanist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) who was not involved with the work.
Meet the robots that can reproduce, learn and evolve all by themselves | New Scientist
But what if we don’t know exactly what our robot needs to be capable of? We might want it to clean up a nuclear accident where it is unsafe to send humans, explore an unmapped asteroid or terraform a distant planet, for example.
We aren’t there yet, but we have already created robots that can “mate” and “reproduce” to generate new designs that are built autonomously.
Potential Development Introduces New Assistive Robots
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Nina Mileto smiled as she held her tablet and interacted with Milo, a facially expressive humanoid robot, who asked her questions about the emotions behind various displayed facial expressions.
Milo is one of the several robots adopted into the Potential Development School for Students with Autism team. These assistive robots are designed to help students like Mileto, who may have complications with communication skills.
Will Boston robots rule our warehouses? - The Boston Globe
For many months, I've been hearing about the rise of warehouse robots, and how the pandemic is spurring the trend. So, when a local warehouse robotics startup announced this week that it raised millions to grow, I wanted to ask how the scene is shaping up amid increased competition.
Universal Robots products: Transforming the industrial landscape
Universal Robots, a Denmark-based manufacturer of industrial robots, is widely known for the production of collaborative robots – cobots.
The company – which has already transformed the industrial landscape – is aiming to reach industries of all sizes so as to enable them reach their maximum production.
Orbiting robots could help fix and fuel satellites in space
Within a few years, NASA’s OSAM-1 mission will launch into space and use a robotic arm to refuel the Landsat 7 Earth-observation satellite, as shown in this animation.
Machines that grip, grapple and maneuver will soon have their go at maintaining the fleet of small spacecraft that encircle Earth
