Next-gen robots inspired by lizards, potentially making them capable of traversing uneven terrain
Right now, walking robots have trouble maintaining their balance whenever they have to cross rough ground. But a future wave of bipedal machines will be able to overcome this hurdle in their mobility. And they will achieve this all-terrain capability due in no small part to lizards. A group of academic institutes – including the University of […]

Researchers develop an autonomous bat-like robot that uses echolocation to move through the environment
Israeli researchers unveiled an autonomous robot that uses the same sensory apparatus as a bat. A Science Daily article described how the machine employs echolocation to create a constantly-updating map of the environment while moving around obstacles. Bats navigate themselves by emitting high-pitched sound and listening to the echoes created by the waves as they […]

Scientists are testing a “cyborg cockroach” for use in search-and-rescue missions
If ever you get trapped in a wreckage or ruins after an accident or a disaster, the rescuer that finds you could be a cockroach – one that is remotely controlled by humans through a miniaturized neuro-controller mounted on its back. A research team from the University of Connecticut (UConn) created the device to manipulate […]

Looking into the future of robotics in the field of medical rehabilitation
German researchers are developing robotic replacements for human medical therapists. The socially assistive robots (SARs) will be placed in charge of physical rehabilitation of human patients who are recovering from serious illnesses, an article in Science Daily stated. The generally improving state of medical know-how will enable more patients to survive strokes and other serious diseases. […]

Engineers develop metal tags that you can attach to common objects and turn them into “smart” devices
Turning an everyday object into a smart device is now as easy as slapping a metal tag on it. Capable of being produced by any 3D printer, the electronic tag hooks up the item to the Internet of Things, an article in Science Daily stated. Dubbed “LiveTag,” each unit is made up of substrate materials. The […]
