The Royal Navy is testing a robotic boat designed to survey uncharted waters as part of an investigation into the use of uncrewed vessels for military surveying operations. The Otter Pro boat was tested on Horsea Lake at the Defence Diving School, Port… Continue reading Royal Navy trials robotic boat for surveying sea bottom
Ford Europe has taken automation a step further by introducing robot test drivers. No, this isn’t an attempt to save a pay packet, but as a way of testing cars under extreme environmental conditions without risking the health of a human driver.Continue… Continue reading Ford puts robots in the drivers’ seat for environmental tests
When someone has suffered a stroke, they often have difficulty relaying commands from their brain to other parts of their body, such as their limbs. A new robotic system, known as NCyborg, may one day help them regain the ability to do so.Continue Read… Continue reading Wearable robotic system could help rehabilitate stroke victims
ESA has awarded a contract to Milrem Robotics for a series of projects to provide planetary rovers with a higher degree of autonomy by using the capabilities that Milrem developed for its line of modular military robots.Continue ReadingCategory: Space,… Continue reading Milrem Robotics to apply military robotic tech to planetary rovers
Scientists in China have developed a novel material they say could improve the performance of prosthetic devices and robotics, by allowing them to sense injuries just like people. The artificial skin uses a special gel that changes color in response to… Continue reading Artificial skin bruises like the real thing
IBM’s Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS400) has set sail across the Atlantic ocean without a crew or human control. Built and operated in conjunction with ocean research non-profit ProMare and industry partners, the autonomous trimaran left Turnchapel Wha… Continue reading IBM’s autonomous Mayflower ship sets sail across the Atlantic sans crew
In a glimpse into the battlefield of the future, the Estonian Defence Force has carried out a live-fire exercise where two Milrem Robotics THeMIS combat robots provided troops with situational awareness, support fire, and casualty evacuation.Continue R… Continue reading Milrem combat robots support live-fire exercise in Estonia
A few years ago a London-based designer named Dani Clode introduced the world to the Third Thumb, a novel robotic finger controlled using pressure sensors under one’s feet. The project was more a novelty than a prototype, exploring futurist ideas surro… Continue reading How an extra thumb changes the way your brain perceives the hand
