Boston Dynamics has revealed its first robot developed specifically for commercial applications. Named Stretch, the robot has been designed for warehouse work, purpose-built for mobile deployment in existing spaces.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, T… Continue reading Boston Dynamics gets to work with its new Stretch robot
ESA has unveiled a spherical robot that may one day be used to explore caves on the Moon. Called the Descent And Exploration in Deep Autonomy of Lunar Underground Structures (DAEDALUS) robot, the spelunking rover is being designed as part of the Lunar … Continue reading Spherical spelunker robot designed to roll around in lunar caves
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have managed to create a kind of cyborg, by integrating the ear of a locust into a robot. The robot was then able to respond to noises that the biological sensor picked up, which could pave the way for more sensitive … Continue reading Biohybrid robot wired to “hear” using locust’s ear
Hyundai dropped a lot of jaws when it first announced its bizarre walking robo-car, the Elevate, whose four wheels on articulating legs give it the ability to roll, climb, mammal-walk and spider-walk over a broader range of terrain than anything we’ve … Continue reading Hyundai’s wild robot-car-on-legs gets an unmanned, air-liftable cousin
In anticipation of future space projects involving giant structures in orbit and on the Moon, DARPA has announced the start of its Novel Orbital and Moon Manufacturing, Materials and Mass-efficient Design (NOM4D, pronounced “NOMAD”) program. The new in… Continue reading DARPA’s NOM4D program seeks to manufacture large structures in space
Exactly one hundred years ago, a play premiered that introduced a significant new word to the world – robot. When the first production of Karel Čapek’s R.U.R. opened on January 25, 1921, at the National Theater in what is now the Czech Republic, it not… Continue reading Robots got their name 100 years ago today
Back in 2015, robotic home cooks and kitchen equipment were the talk of the town, and no one was going bigger than Moley Robotics. The British startup stepped beyond robo-mixers and grocery-tracking refrigerators in developing a prototype robo-kitchen … Continue reading $340,000 Moley robotic kitchen is ready to make you dinner
