3D-printed heads talk, swivel, and listen to improve audio devices

A team of researchers has created a way to inexpensively manufacture acoustic head simulators. They can help measure the way we take in and process sound – especially in noisy environments like cocktail parties.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags:… Continue reading 3D-printed heads talk, swivel, and listen to improve audio devices

Robotic beehive provides vital life support to chilly honeybees

While honeybees are famously difficult to study, altering natural behaviors if any outside influences are sensed, they’re also incredibly susceptible to colony collapse due to the cold. If hive temperatures drop below 50 °F (10 °C), the bees cease buzz… Continue reading Robotic beehive provides vital life support to chilly honeybees

New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface

The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not only for healthcare but for a range of other industr… Continue reading New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface

Musk expects Tesla Bot to be a much bigger business than its cars

An uncharacteristically subdued Elon Musk presented some short video on the Optimus prototype, noting that as recently as October last year, it had to be rolled out on stage to wave like a politician.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: … Continue reading Musk expects Tesla Bot to be a much bigger business than its cars
