The study found that robots aren't replacing humans at the rate most people think, but people are prone to exaggerate the rate of robot takeover.
Newswise — It’s easy to believe that robots are stealing jobs from human workers and drastically disrupting the labor market; after all, you’ve likely heard that chatbots make more efficient customer service representatives and that computer programs are tracking and moving ...
Researchers help robots navigate crowded spaces with new visual perception method
A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has found a way to enhance the visual perception of robotic systems by coupling two different types of neural networks.
"What tends to happen in our field is that when systems don't perform as expected, the designers make the networks bigger – they add more parameters," says Jonathan Kelly , an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies in the Faculty of Applied Science ...
Using vibrations to control a swarm of tiny robots
Despite their potential, microrobots' size often means they have limited sensing, communication, motility, and computation abilities, but new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology enhances their ability to collaborate efficiently.
The breakthrough is unique to Georgia Tech's expertise in electric and computer engineering and robotics and its push for interdisciplinary collaborations.
watch tiny leaping robots mimic springtail's escape response
Engineers at Georgia Tech created a tiny robot that mimics the springtail’s jumping action with the ability to self-right in mid-flight. Springtails are tiny leaping water creatures that can take off, spin, and reorient themselves in midair.
For the first time, researchers discovered the mechanics of springtail movement using a combination of computational and robophysical modeling, as well as fluid dynamics experiments.
Robots Support Medical Device Innovations
Nigel Smith, CEO of industrial robot specialist TM Robotics, explains how advanced automation and robotics can help manufacturers produce new medical innovations.
Industrial robots already play a crucial role in loading and unloading applications for plastic injection molding machines.
Ball State campus now has robots making food deliveries
MUNCIE, Ind. − Food for Ball State University's students, faculty and staff is now rolling across campus through the use of six-wheeled robots that make their way through pedestrian crowds on sidewalks and motorized street traffic to the buildings where hungry diners await.
"The Starship robots provide our students, faculty and staff, and campus visitors a safe and effective way to have food delivered to their location," said Karen Adkins, senior director of auxiliary services for dining, catering, and events.
How to stop the armed robots in their tracks | New Scientist
Amid concern over the arming of robots, I suggest that, while laser weapons shouldn’t be used to deliberately blind or disable human adversaries in war, it would seem reasonable to use such weapons on robots.
Miniaturized "Warehouse Ferrobots" Automate Viral Surveillance
DNA sample processing required for viral surveillance and many other biotechnology-based diagnostics can be quite similar to how packages are moved around in warehouses—both are time-consuming and labor-intensive work.
"If you think about microfluidic samples as packages that need to be processed through fixed workflows, we can reimagine the way robotics can help with diagnostics," said Sam Emaminejad, PhD, associate professor of electrical & computer engineering at the University of California, Los ...

There has never been a shortage of 'takeover of the machines'-themed stories in pop culture, but it's never been followed by a tangible surge in installed intelligent technology. In a recent report, BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri argued that this time might be different.
Mr. Guatieri noted that industrial robot sales increased at a 13 per cent annual pace between 2015 and 2020 to total 3 million. Last year saw a record increase of over 500,000 robots and the first quarter of 2022 saw 28 per cent year over year sales growth in North America, another record.
