An abrupt change in scenery was relayed by a high in a narrow, seawater-filled crevasse at the base of Antarctica’s biggest ice shelf, and cameras on the remotely operated Icefin underwater vehicle.
At the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology), scientists in Genoa have identified a new soft robot inspired by the biology of earthworms, which has the potential to crawl as a result of the soft actuators that tend to squeeze or elongate, when air passes via them or is drawn out.
Published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, a study inspired by the adhesion qualities of geckos and the movement of inchworms presented a hybrid bioinspired design as a soft robot that could climb on ceilings and walls of various textures like glass, aluminum, and polyimide.
One of the quickest and most efficient amphibious robots named AmphiSAW has been developed by the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev engineer Dr David Zarrouk and his student Omer Guetta.
Under the guidance of the University of Bristol, researchers have been studying a fish sensory organ to comprehend cues for collective behavior that can be used on underwater robots.
To date, there has been a need for microscopic robotic systems to complete work without arms. Now, scientists at ETH Zurich have come up with an ultrasonically actuated glass needle that could be fixed to a robotic arm.
A newly built gripper robot can grasp all kinds of objects, ranging from very fine or thin items like sewing needles and acupuncture needles to large items like boxes.
For several years, scientists have attempted to build robotic hands that possess similar dexterity to human hands in the ways they can hold and control objects.
Festo brings the company's flying robotic dragonfly and swift to Boston on Saturday, October 1, to celebrate RoboBoston - the MassRobotics sponsored 5th annual Robot Block Party.
A group of roboticists, physicists, and biologists revealed that multi-legged animals and robots can walk more easily than previously believed. The research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on September 5th, 2022.
