Zipeng Fu, Qingqing Zhao, and Qi Wu, researchers at Stanford University near Palo Alto, CA, have developed a human-like robot, dubbed HumanPlus, that’s capable of learning to autonomously do human tasks by first copying them. The team uses a full-stack… Continue reading Autonomous humanoid robot shadow-boxes, but Kung Fu is weak
Clear Robotics is expanding its fleet of autonomous marine trash collectors. Its Class 3 vessel boasts more onboard storage capacity plus towed barge potential for extended cleanup operations, and has also been designed to tackle invasive weeds.Continu… Continue reading Autonomous marine trash gobbler takes on invasive weeds too
MAMA BEAR – which stands for Mechanics of Additively Manufactured Architectures Bayesian Experimental Autonomous Researcher – 3D prints small structures before gently placing them into a hydraulic press and crushes them. It measures the energy absorpti… Continue reading Autonomous robot invents the world’s best shock absorber
The robotic revolution is currently happening, although for the time being it seems as though most of the robots are still being generally helpful to humanity, whether that help is …read more Continue reading Robotic Platform Turns Shop Vac into Roomba
We’ve seen some impressive nature-inspired flying bots from the creative minds at Festo’s Bionic Learning Network over the years, but the autonomous BionicBee is not only the smallest so far but also the first capable of swarming.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Who would have thought swarming robo-bees could be so captivating?
Penguins are fast, fantastic swimmers, so why not make an underwater robot inspired by them? That’s just what German underwater tech company EvoLogics has done, with its new-and-improved Quadroin AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle).Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Video: Bio-inspired aquatic robot shoots through the water like a penguin
Back in January, researchers showed off the kitchen skills of an open-source Aloha housekeeping robot. Now the Unleashed project gets to grips with knotting shoelaces, hanging shirts and even repairing other robots.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, T… Continue reading AI-powered robots can now autonomously repair other bots
Northrop Grumman introduces its first completed prototype Manta Ray Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) that it is developing for DARPA. The extra-large submarine glider is designed to carry out long-range undersea missions without human assistance.Conti… Continue reading Northrop Grumman debuts Manta Ray robotic underwater glider
Hyundai and Kia are gunning for office mailroom jobs with the introduction of the DAL-e Delivery robot, that can not only distribute packages around a building autonomously, but can also do the coffee run too.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, Technol… Continue reading Hyundai’s DAL-e delivery bot takes on the morning coffee run
A supersonic drone that will be propelled by a revolutionary new engine has taken to the skies for the first time. When Venus Aerospace’s aircraft does go supersonic on a later date, it will be powered by a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE).Cont… Continue reading Video: Supersonic drone flies with revolutionary detonation engine
