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

Classroom robot helps keep kids with learning disabilities on track

Students with learning disabilities (LD) struggle with particular skills like reading, writing, or mathematics and often require additional, individualized support to fill educational gaps. A team of researchers and experts has found that a cute little… Continue reading Classroom robot helps keep kids with learning disabilities on track

Super-sensitive bionic finger renders 3D images of what lies beneath

The medical community has a lot of ways to see beneath our skin including MRIs, X-rays, and sonograms. Now, researchers at China’s Wuyi University have created a robotic finger that may offer another way to analyze our human form – by poking and proddi… Continue reading Super-sensitive bionic finger renders 3D images of what lies beneath

“Robot” made of shape-shifting matter liquefies to escape jail

Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could move and change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, or even escape from a jail cell like a Term… Continue reading “Robot” made of shape-shifting matter liquefies to escape jail

Wheeled robot uses a locust antenna to identify odors

While we’ve heard about a number of “electronic noses,” the devices are rarely as sensitive as their natural counterparts. That’s why Israeli scientists have taken a new approach, by incorporating a locust antenna into an odor-identifying robot.Continu… Continue reading Wheeled robot uses a locust antenna to identify odors
