Fast, quiet, invisible: Scientists develop squid robots with potential military, scientific applications
Scientists have designed a squid-like robot with potential scientific and military applications, thanks to its high-speed, quiet propulsion techniques. Physicists from the University of California, San Diego based the design on the unique and efficient swimming strategy of squids and other cephalopods. It’s made of smart materials that make them difficult to detect, which is why it’s an ideal weapon for […]

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 […]

Customers are 80 percent less likely to buy from merchants if they figure out they’re talking to AI, study finds
Artificial intelligence, or AI, has recently taken the labor market by storm. It’s cost-efficient and effective at jobs previously held by humans, such as customer service. But it has yet to earn customer trust, suggests a study published in the journal Marketing Science. Researchers from the U.S. and China examined the responses of customers when faced with AI-controlled chatbots, computer […]

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 […]

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 […]
