We’ve recently heard about several urban delivery robots which would move along city sidewalks on four wheels. The Mighty bot brings something new to the mix, however, with pivoting wheels that are mounted on articulated legs.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Robot uses bending legs and pivoting wheels to traverse city streets
Although using a snow blower may be easier than shovelling, even pushing a blower around can be tiring if you have a large area to clear. That’s where the Snowbot S1 comes in – it’s a snow-blowing robot that’s designed to do the job all on its own.Cont… Continue reading Snowbot S1 could be your own snow-blowing robot
DARPA has awarded Phase 2 contracts in its Manta Ray program, which aims to build a series of underwater drones capable of taking on long-range, long-endurance, autonomous ocean missions without any human support for charging, maintenance or logistics…. Continue reading DARPA moves to phase 2 in long-endurance Manta Ray drone program
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
