Queen Mary, University of London researchers have unveiled a fun new smartphone app. Based on LIREC approach, which is a recent European robotics research project, the app allows users to interact and manage their proprietary emotional pet robot.
Kairos Autonomi, a provider of robotic appliqué kits, will develop a mobile humanoid robot capable of carrying out human-like operations. The firm’s innovative business model will now be implemented in another Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge (DRC).
The word 'robot' was first introduced in 1920 by Czech writer Karel Capek, through his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots).
University of Granada researchers have developed an artificial cerebellum (a biologically-inspired adaptive microcircuit) that controls a robotic arm with human-like precision.
A team of researchers from the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering have carried out a study wherein robots were fitted with the right sensors, software and actuators to enable them to feel and touch different materials. This study creates a breakthrough in personal assistive robots, consumer product testing and prostheses.
A team of researchers at Personal Robotics Lab of Ashutosh Saxena has already trained robots to recognize, pick and place common objects. A new human element has now been added, where the robots will be trained to "hallucinate" the movement and behavior of human beings and the related objects.
Constructed using a design approach that is absolutely different from similar robots, the flying robot “Airburr” is capable of actively navigating around obstacles.
MIT’s Boeing Career Development Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Julie Shah stated that in future handling of common tasks, the factory floor may have robots working alongside humans. Shah predicts that airplane manufacturing can be effective with robotic assistants.
DARPA has aimed to provide an option for service-disabled soldiers to rejoin their service by providing improved quality of life.
Quantum International has discovered promising potential to supply advanced personal assistance robots that can aid the chronically ill and the elderly, making their lives more productive and independent.
