In the future, autonomous drones could be used to shuttle inventory between large warehouses. A drone might fly into a semi-dark structure the size of several football fields, zipping along hundreds of identical aisles before docking at the precise spot where its shipment is needed. The post New MIT tech helps drones fly in dark […]
Intuitive Surgical Inc. remains the leading surgical robotics provider — but other companies with savvy strategies are generating buzz and raising money. Surgical robotics experts agree that the most promising technologies provide robot-assisted surgery options that don’t directly compete with Intuitive. The decades-long leader in soft-tissue procedures launched its next-gen da Vinci 5 system last year. […]
Nursing homes are increasingly turning to robots to complete a variety of care tasks to offset high employee turnover and an aging population. In 2022, for instance, more than 57 million U.S. residents were 65 or older, according to the National Council on Aging. The Census Bureau forecasts that by 2050, this number will grow […]
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) released its World Robotics R&D Programs 2025 report that analyzes strategies in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. While economies worldwide are increasingly investing in robotics, each government research and development program follows different strategies. “The 4th edition of the World Robotics R&D Programs covers the latest funding developments, including […]
At UC Berkeley, researchers in Sergey Levine’s Robotic AI and Learning Lab eyed a table where a tower of 39 Jenga blocks stood perfectly stacked. Then a white-and-black robot, its single limb doubled over like a hunched-over giraffe, zoomed toward the tower, brandishing a black leather whip. Through what might have seemed to a casual […]
While headlines often spotlight U.S. and Asian companies in the humanoid robotics race, a silent revolution is brewing in the tech hubs of Europe, where cutting-edge startups are making remarkable strides in developing human-like robots. The post Europe has a key role to play in the development of robots, humanoids appeared first on The Robot […]
Developing a successful robot requires careful selection of technologies. Poor choices can lead to costly setbacks, reliability issues, or future-proofing problems. Drawing from the extensive experience of our work at OLogic, which specializes in robotics and consumer electronics, here are 10 technologies to avoid to ensure your robot is scalable, reliable, innovative, and manufacturable. The […]
The group aims to complete its market research and final report within a year. Subsequently, Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) will require an additional 1-2 years to develop and ratify any new standards. Consequently, it will take a minimum of 18 to 30 months before humanoid robots can adhere to the necessary safety standards, a crucial […]
