The UK has achieved the world’s first blade walk by a robot on an offshore wind turbine, thanks to BladeBUG and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult.
Using live animal models, engineers at Purdue University have demonstrated that a rectangular robot as minuscule as a few human hairs can move throughout a colon by performing back-flips.
Optomed and AEYE Health have agreed to enter clinical and commercial collaboration to introduce an AI fundus camera Aurora AEYE.
A Cornell University-led collaboration has created the first microscopic robots that incorporate semiconductor components, allowing them to be controlled - and made to walk - with standard electronic signals.
A team of researchers, under the guidance of the University of Michigan, has demonstrated a novel rechargeable zinc battery that combines with the structure of a robot to deliver relatively more energy—similar to how biological fat reserves preserve energy in animals.
The principles of origami—Japanese art of folding—could help unleash the power of the smallest robots, thereby improving agility, speed, and control in machines measuring just about a centimeter.
A plastic miniature robot, composed of responsive polymers, has been developed by scientists from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
Inspired by a coral polyp, this plastic mini robot moves by magnetism and light.
HAI ROBOTICS announced the launch of two new HAIPICK robots: the world's first carton-picking ACR HAIPICK A42N and double-deep ACR HAIPICK A42D.
HAMR-JR, a minuscule robot developed by researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Harvard Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, cannot climb up the waterspout.
