Coronavirus threatening jobs as hospitality industry turns to automation
Jobs in the hospitality industry will be the hardest hit as businesses increasingly turn to automation in the face of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The prediction came from a study by the Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA). Researchers from the London-based think tank found that the ongoing pandemic is increasing the demand […]

Japanese convenience stores using VR-controlled robots to restock shelves
Two Japanese convenience stores have adopted a seven-foot-tall robot to restock store shelves. The robots, controlled remotely using virtual reality (VR), address concerns over social distancing for human employees in the workplace and Japan’s impending critical labor shortage. Japanese robotics company Telexistence is responsible for the robotic stock clerk, dubbed Model-T after Henry Ford’s famous […]

Shapeshifting robots straight out of sci-fi can be used to explore volcanoes and caves on Titan, Saturn’s moon
Engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found a way to help scientists gain access to worlds located in the depths of outer space: the Shapeshifter robot. Currently being tested in a robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the current Shapeshifter prototype, according to its engineers, can split […]

Ant-sized robots powered by vibration can move material: One day, ant-robots may even be used to repair injuries INSIDE the body
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing the power of vibrations. The team believes that swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” could one day be used to move materials, sense environmental changes and even repair injuries inside the human body. […]

People would rather lose their job to a robot than to another person, say researchers – but what happens when ALL the jobs go to robots?
No one wants to think about losing a job, especially if you’re supporting a family. But interesting research has revealed what people think about their coworkers getting replaced or losing their own jobs to robots. In a paper published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, scientists from the Technical University of Munich in Germany and Erasmus University Rotterdam found that […]

Boston Dynamics unveils robot dog that herds sheep, enforces social distancing… just in time for SHEEPLE lockdown enforcement
Just in time for the global enforcement of so-called “social distancing,” engineering and robotics firm Boston Dynamics has unveiled a new robot “dog” that it says can herd sheep without the need for an actual human shepherd. Known as “Spot,” the yellow and black tech marvel can traverse pastures and herd sheep remotely with ease, […]

A new generation of robotics: Researchers design self-healing robotic hands that don’t require human intervention
Scientists are now developing robots that can feel pain and sense damage. Better yet, these robots will not only be able to sense that they’ve been damaged, but they will also be able to repair the damage themselves without human intervention. These self-healing robots have soft, robotic hands made through 3D printing using a jelly-like plastic […]

Scientists develop artificial muscles powered by glucose: Findings will be used to develop a system that’s “even closer to a biological muscle”
A recent breakthrough in engineering and robotics just might blur the line between man and machine. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have successfully developed and created artificial muscles that run on glucose and oxygen — just like their organic counterparts. According to the researchers, they wanted to develop artificial muscles, which, instead of using traditional […]

Another attempt at the super soldier? Researchers develop artificial muscles that can lift 1,000 times their own weight
Three different – and independent – groups of researchers have designed extremely powerful artificial muscles. They claim that the muscles can lift 1,000 times their own weight. The synthetic muscles are designed around either coiled or coiling fibers that can, much like natural muscles, stretch and contract. These artificial muscles could be used for various […]

Coronavirus killing robots could be deployed by the military
The military could deploy autonomous “corona-killing” robots that use ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect closed spaces. The four-wheeled robots are said to be able to perform tasks in a matter of hours that would take human workers days to complete. Turning robot targets into virus killers To develop the disinfecting robots, a company called Marathon Targets is retrofitting […]
