Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform ...

A team led by the University of Oxford has developed a new class of soft robots that operate without electronics, motors, or ...

As businesses begin demand more from their robotic assistants, these systems are getting harder to design. They need the ...

(TNS) — To drive a car, you need to see the world around you. But computers are blind, so autonomous cars must rely on other ways to perceive their surroundings. Lidar sensors, a laser form of radar, ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...

The robots are here, zipping across the Colorado State University campus as students, faculty and staff pull out their cell phones to snap pictures and video clips. Depending on where they’re standing ...

Luggage lying around unattended at an airport justifiably triggers the jitters. The hazardous task of getting up close to inspect what could potentially be a bomb that could explode any time ...

To overcome these limitations, the team is now exploring bio-inspired echolocation, drawing from ... intelligence, robot ...

Sensor packages are becoming ever-more-dynamic in robotics development. Robots are increasingly savvy at touching, sensing minute forces, and seeing in a variety of spectrums. I've written about the ...
