Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and UC Berkeley want to give quadrupeds more capabilities similar to their biological counterparts. Just like real dogs can use their front legs for things other than walking and running, like digging and other manipulation tasks, the researchers think quadrupeds could someday do the same. The post Researchers taught […]
Amazon recently detailed how Astro, the company’s multi-purpose home robot, can navigate through its environment with limited onboard computational capabilities. Astro’s sensor field of view and onboard computational capabilities aren’t nearly as powerful as other autonomous robots. While this makes it a more affordable option for consumers, it also means it’s more challenging for Amazon to […]
Siemens and Microsoft are harnessing the collaborative power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help industrial companies drive innovation and efficiency across the design, engineering, manufacturing and operational lifecycle of products. At Hannover Messe, the two technology leaders will demonstrate how generative AI can enhance factory automation and operations through AI-powered software development, problem reporting […]
The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute is seeking small and medium-sized businesses in Southwestern Pennsylvania that are interested in exploring the use of robotics through the Institute’s Robotics Manufacturing Hub (the Hub). The post ARM Institute opens call to help manufacturers adopt robotics appeared first on The Robot Report.
A team of researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has introduced a method for drones to master vision-based fly-to-target tasks in intricate and unfamiliar environments. The team used liquid neural networks that continuously adapt to new data inputs. The post MIT uses liquid neural networks to teach drones navigation skills appeared […]
Robotics Business Review, sister publication of The Robot Report, today announced the winners of the 2023 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards (RBR50). For more than a decade, the annual RBR50 list celebrates forward-thinking organizations and their original, impactful creations. Recognized throughout the world, the RBR50 is also a critical measure of robotics sector growth. The post […]
Industrial robots, particularly those in the automotive industry, complement human workers rather than replace them. The post Researchers find robots create jobs in long term appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
Your manufacturer should feel like an extension of your business. Manufacturing relationships are just that – relationships. Since your contract manufacturer (CM) will be working alongside you, actively learning about your robotic system and the requirements specific to your company and application, your partnering decision needs to be deliberate and extend beyond bottom-line cost comparisons. […]
A research team led by the University of Bristol is studying fish sensory organs to better understand the cues they give to determine collective behavior. These researchers think these same cues could be used in swarms of underwater robots. The post How fish sensory organs could improve underwater robots’ navigation skills appeared first on The […]
Human systems engineering aims to combine engineering and psychology to create systems that are designed to work with humans’ capabilities and limitations. Interest in the subject has grown among government agencies, like the FDA, the FAA and NASA, as well as in private sectors like cybersecurity and defense. The post Why roboticists should prioritize human […]
