Roboticists have developed several systems that might ultimately operate in real-world environments. Because most real-world settings, particularly public areas, are dynamic and unpredictable, robots must be able to develop a thorough awareness of their surroundings to navigate them efficiently. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Laboratory recently researched to investigate how features associated with […]
InOrbit, a cloud-based robot operations (RobOps) software vendor, has released its Developer Portal. The set of development tools is provided to help roboticists and software developers in building robotics systems. API endpoints, SDKs, and no-code embeds are all available through the Developer Portal. It also contains connections to an increasing number of open-source contributions, such […]
As per the new studies from UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital’s Chase Child Life Program A visit from a human-controlled companion robot ensures a positive perspective and improves medical interactions for hospitalized youngsters. Robin is a social companion robot that stands about 4 feet tall, and it can walk, talk, and play with people while being […]
Some company’s take no time to adapt to the new age technologies. Now Nissan’s “intelligent factory” employs almost no humans. The job is done by robots, including welding, and mounting. They do the painting and check their work. Its assembly line is designed so that all three types of models can be built on the […]
Leonardo, the robot developed by the California Institute of technology combines the use of legs and thrusters like those of drones. It can walk on two legs and fly at the same time. This opens up new possibilities for robot movements. Leonardo is a bipedal robot, and such robots are generally capable of navigating complicated […]
The adoption of blockchain technology as a communication medium for a robot team might provide security and protect against fraud. A blockchain offers a tamper-proof record of all transactions. So, the members of the robot’s team can eventually identify inconsistencies if any in the information trail. Leaders use tokens to communicate moves and add transactions […]
Researchers at MIT have developed a robotic arm called RFusion that can find lost things. The system consists of a camera and a radio frequency antenna attached to its gripper. It combines signals from the antenna with visual information from the camera to identify and recover an object, even if it is buried behind a […]
Amazon has released its long-rumoured home robot “Astro”. The company has been working on this for the past four years. The 2-foot-tall, 20-pound robot features a 10-inch touchscreen, an array of sensors, cameras, and microphones, and can wheel around your home across many directions. Astro underscores Amazon’s approach to robotics, an area in which the […]
Roboticists around the world have created a wide range of robots to help humans during the last few decades. These include robots that could assist the elderly and behave as true companions to improve their well-being and quality of life. The companion robots must ideally possess human-like qualities. Many computer science professionals have been trying […]
Researchers at the University of Zurich have devised a novel method for autonomously flying quadrotors across unfamiliar, complicated situations at high speeds using just onboard sensors and computing. The novel method is expected to be beneficial on construction sites or for security applications. Drones are hard to beat when it comes to exploring complicated and […]
