Back in November 2020, startup Open Ocean Engineering launched an autonomous trash collector aimed at clearing plastic waste from harbors, lakes and canals. After partnering with games titan Razer last year for a radical redesign, a sleeker Clearbot ha… Continue reading Robotic marine trash collector starts making waves in Hong Kong
In a typical sailboat race, the course is marked with a series of buoys that have to be anchored to the seabed, and which may get pushed around by winds or currents. MarkSetBot addresses those problems, with internet-connected robotic buoys.Continue Re… Continue reading MarkSetBot robotic race marker buoys have no need for an anchor
NVIDIA has been lending its expertise in computing to the world of autonomous vehicles for some time now, and a newly announced platform is designed improve the safety of these vehicles as they hit the streets. Called Drive Map, the technology will off… Continue reading NVIDIA’s Drive Map to chart 500,000 km of roads for autonomous cars
In order to keep running at peak efficiency, solar panels regularly have to be cleaned of accumulated dust and other debris. Such panels can often be difficult to reach, though, which is why the Helios system uses not one but two drones to get the job … Continue reading Automated solar-panel-cleaning system doubles down on drones
Interfacing technology and electronics with the real world is often fairly tricky. Complexity and edge cases work their way in to every corner of a project like this; just ask …read more Continue reading Autonomous Mower Hits Snag
When it comes to underwater robots, some tasks are easy to automate, while others are best handled by manual remote control. The Cuttlefish offers the best of both worlds, plus it cleverly changes orientation when using its two manipulator arms.Continu… Continue reading Cuttlefish AUV pivots underwater to become a manipulator-armed ROV
According to Israeli startup Tevel Aerobotics, there is a severe shortage of workers available to pick fruit at orchards. That’s why the company is developing an alternative, in the form of autonomous flying drones which do the job.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Fruit-picking drones may be heading for an orchard near you
While robotic laparoscopic surgical systems do make certain procedures safer and less invasive, those systems are still operated by human surgeons. Now, however, a surgical robot has performed a delicate operation entirely on its own.

Much as we may like pigeons, they can make quite a mess of buildings and other structures, potentially posing a health hazard. According to new research, autonomous drones may be ideal for harmlessly chasing the birds away.Continue ReadingCategory: Dro… Continue reading Autonomous drones may be the ultimate scarecrows … for pigeons
At least partially due to labor shortages, autonomous lawnmowers are becoming increasingly popular. The Dexter robotic system offers an alternative to buying a whole new “smart” mower, as it can be added to existing mowers in order to make them autonom… Continue reading Dexter tech gives regular lawnmowers the autonomous treatment
