Collaborate Disseminate
Although some people are starting to venture back into air travel, the more that they can continue physical distancing, the better. A new robotic in-airport food delivery service has been introduced in order to help them do so.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Autonomous robots are now delivering food in a US airport
It was just last year that we heard about the Ascento 2, a self-balancing, two-legged, wheeled, hopping robot. Well, as if it wasn’t already impressive enough, its designers have now unveiled the even more capable Ascento Pro.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Hopping, rolling, balancing Ascento robot now available in Pro form
After sending a fleet of self-sailing drones into the path of Hurricane Sam to help improve forecast models, Saildrone has now launched three uncrewed surface vehicles into the Gulf Stream winter to gather data on carbon uptake in the ocean.Continue Re… Continue reading Saildrone heads to the Gulf Stream to investigate carbon uptake in the ocean
There are several methods of oyster farming, one of which involves raising the molluscs in bags that float on the ocean’s surface. Those heavy bags need to be frequently flipped over, so a team of MIT students has designed an “Oystamaran” robot to make… Continue reading MIT’s Oystamaran robot could boost the oyster-farming industry
China’s eHang says it’s “hopeful” it’ll achieve full type certification for its autonomous EH216 eVTOL aircraft “in the next few months,” after which commercial operations can begin – potentially years earlier than American and European competitors.Con… Continue reading eHang’s pilotless eVTOL may be certified and operational within months
While manually hoeing weeds out of crops can be very time- and labor-intensive, spraying those crops with herbicides is definitely not eco-friendly. A German consortium is developing a third choice, in the form of the AMU-Bot weed-killing robot.Continu… Continue reading AMU-Bot robot kills weeds as it makes its way through crops
Hyundai has presented a “Concept Seven” electric SUV it says is an “innovative living space on wheels” for a post-driving future. As such, it’s all about a modular interior that Hyundai says will be many things to many people.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Hyundai’s Concept Seven: An autonomous, modular living room on wheels
Although the deep ocean floor may seem isolated from life on the rest of the planet, it actually plays a vital role in the global carbon cycle. Scientists are now gaining a better understanding of that role, thanks to a tracked robotic underwater rover… Continue reading Tracked bottom-crawling robot gathers valuable deep-sea data
Back in 2016, we caught wind of an interesting research project looking to make use of Amsterdam’s famously abundant waterways by deploying autonomous vessels to transport people and goods. These so-called Roboats have undergone a number of redesigns i… Continue reading MIT deploys first full-scale autonomous Roboat on canals of Amsterdam
[Andy]’s robot is an autonomous RC car, and he shares the localization algorithm he developed to help the car keep track of itself while it zips crazily around an indoor …read more Continue reading Fast Indoor Robot Watches Ceiling Lights, Instead of the Road
