Robots, androids, droids, Autobots, Decepticons, humanoids - the mechanized machines come in many shapes, sizes, and spare parts. Building an inhuman figure can make any creator revel in the unsettling achievement.
In its leaps and bounds, the best science fiction films make people think . The fancy future doodads and bells and whistles are enough to make people laugh . Some franchises die and make people cry for a better send-off.
A robotics company is hiring restocking robots in 300 grocery stores in Japan
A robotics company is installing restocking robots in 300 grocery stores in Japan – and the plan is to bring the robots to the US, according to Telexistence, the Tokyo-based company that makes the machines.
Amidst a punishing labor shortage in Japan, these robots, called TX SCARA, will be used to restock bottles and cans in refrigerated shelves and can handle a pace of about 1,000 items a day — the equivalent of one to three hours every day of human work.
Robots, and Our Physical and Mental Health | American Council on Science and Health
The robots are coming; the robots are coming. Robotic automation of manufacturing lines has been with us for some time. A new study looks at the benefits to our physical health and, for an important group, detriments to their mental health.
The research aimed to tease out these two strands of health impacts and used OSHA's data set, a sampling of 80,000 workers in "high-hazard" industries.
Nashville firm CPR robots promise improved human resuscitation
Red lights flash on the mannequin's translucent head, reassuring the CPR technician that enough oxygen would be flowing to the patient's brain if the subject were human.
"I'm doing 30 compressions," said John Dymond, HealthStream's associate vice president. He pressed deeply on the mannequin's torso watching real-time feedback on a tablet. "You do not have to have an instructor standing over you. The iPad application serves as the instructor."
Retirement community utilizing robots to make up for worker shortage
CENTENNIAL, Colo. ( KDVR ) — A retirement community is leasing robots to serve its residents food because of the continuing shortage of workers.
Ask just about any business owner and they will tell you, they need workers. Holly Creek Retirement Community is no exception.
Ultrafast small-scale soft electromagnetic robots | Nature Communications
High-speed locomotion is an essential survival strategy for animals, allowing populating harsh and unpredictable environments. Bio-inspired soft robots equally benefit from versatile and ultrafast motion but require appropriate driving mechanisms and device designs.
The elastomer for the fabrication of bilayer films is prepared by mixing Ecoflex 00-30 (Smooth-On Inc.) and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (Sylgard 184, Dow Corning Inc.) solution with a mass ratio of 1:10. The Ecoflex solution consists of Ecoflex part A and part B with a mass ratio of 1:1.
With 21.4% CAGR, Surgical Robots Market Size worth USD
Pune, India, Aug. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global surgical robots market will derive growth from recent technological advancements that have enabled minimally invasive surgeries.
Surgical robots are used to perform computer-assisted surgeries in the presence and guidance of skilled surgeons. Surgical robots were manufactured to enable magnified images and efficient surgical operations within the intricate human anatomy.
Can robots trick us into thinking they're human just by copying our behaviour? | Euronews
In an effort to make robots more humanlike, an Italian research team implemented human characteristics in a robot, such as variable lengths of time to respond, in a bid to see if they could successfully convince participants in their study they were interacting with a human.
A researcher behind the study, Agnieszka Wykowska, was inspired by the Turing test - a method of determining if a machine can be described as intelligent - and designed a similar experiment.
Is Amazon building 5G robots? | Light Reading
The timing could be purely coincidental. However, the fact that Amazon inked a patent-licensing deal with InterDigital at roughly the same time it signed an agreement to acquire iRobot is somewhat noteworthy, and could potentially hint at Amazon's plans for the future.
Whether those plans include 5G-capable robots remains to be seen. But it's certainly within the realm of possibility.
Meet the robots hiding in CMU's basement with Yinzer Backstage Pass
On this episode of Yinzer Backstage Pass , I paid a visit to the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Oakland. We followed faculty member Matt Travers down a set of stairs into the basement of the building.
