Robotic submarine planned for exploring the seas of Titan

The world used to wonder about what goes on in the moon, particularly before the time when it was explored by scientists and astronauts – and various space probes, too. These days, there’s plenty of information available about it, online or otherwise. So anyone who wants to know more about it can simply look it […]

AI robots being fitted with special software that lets them adapt to injury like animals

It’s hard to believe that there once was a time when highly advanced robots only existed in Hollywood movies and comic books. Now, technology has reached a point where robots can do many things that human beings can do – in some cases, the two are even indistinguishable. An essay published in the International Journal […]

Autonomous underwater robots will collect and archive seawater samples to track ocean microbes

Though small in size, the impact of ocean microbes is enormous. Not only do they act as the foundation for marine-based food chains, but they also play important roles in the oxygen cycle. Yet, scientists believe that we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. The full extent of their influence is a continuing subject […]

3D printable robot arm created that could be used for sign language, making communication easier for hearing-impaired

Sign language interpreters aren’t always available, making communication between the hearing and deaf communities all the more difficult. Closing this gap through technology is an option that continues to see numerous attempts. The latest of these is a robotic sign language interpreter that takes the form of an arm. The creation of researchers at the […]

Could 5,000 pencil-shaped robots help solve the mysteries of our universe?

At 45 years of age, the decades-old Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was due for an upgrade. This four-meter reflector telescope will be given just that this year. Though instead of a new eyepiece or objective lens, the Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was instead outfitted with about 5,000 fiber optic sensor-equipped, pencil-sized robots. By adding these […]

FREAKY: Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini robo-dogs can coordinate, navigate, open doors, climb stairs and even load the dishwasher

A secretive robot project by Boston Dynamics is turning heads. In a 45 second video titled, “Hey Buddy, Can You Give Me a Hand?” you can catch a glimpse of SpotMini, Boston Dynamic’s robotic dog that can coordinate with other robots, open doors, climb stairs, and even load the dishwasher. The singular robot arm can […]

Scientists have created robots that have rib cages, flexible spines, and can SWEAT

A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo developed a pair of humanoid robots that can carry out a wide range of life-like activities — such as doing push ups, sit ups, and stretches as well as playing badminton and other complicated motions — in a less mechanical manner compared with most automatons. The robots, called Kengoro and Kenshiro, […]

Taking orders from the cat: Scientists have created an AI cat robot to keep the elderly company and remind them to take their medication

Are robotic cats set to become the next big thing in elderly care? Scientists from Brown University seem to think so. In collaboration with toymaker giant Hasbro, the team is working on imbuing the company’s line of “Joy for All” robotic cat toys with artificial intelligence. Through this, the team hopes to transform the toys from […]

Powered armor for soldiers rapidly approaching

Imagine an army full of super soldiers, each equipped with powered armor that allows them to run faster, jump higher, and reap the benefits of enhanced strength and mobility. It goes without saying that such technology would quite literally change the ways wars are fought, and if the United States military became the first to […]

Robots will “know” your gender and personality with one handshake — will the Alt-Left have them destroyed for their “binary” judgments?

Researchers in Paris are reportedly developing robot technology that can determine gender based on the human touch. The emotional robot project, within which initial handshake experiments are supposedly correct about gender 75 percent of the time, is under development by the ENSTA ParisTech research team at the Universite Paris-Saclay. Based on the findings, female-to-male handshakes involve less pressure […]
