A team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has developed a soft robotic wearable capable of significantly assisting upper arm and shoulder movement in people with ALS. The post Soft robotic wearable restores arm function for people with ALS appeared first […]

ABB Robotics and the University of Texas Medical Branch’s (UTMB) Life Sciences and Healthcare Lab have developed an automated neutralizing antibody testing system. The robotic system can determine an individual’s immunity to various strains of COVID, and perform other virus testing.  The post ABB uses robots to automate COVID antibody testing appeared first on The […]

Researchers at MIT have designed a soft, robotic implantable ventilator that can augment the diaphragm’s natural contractions.  The post MIT researchers create implantable robotic ventilator appeared first on The Robot Report.

The answer starts by understanding the difference between the traditional capital equipment selling cycle and the concept of a subscription service selling model. The post What is a Robotic Service Provider? appeared first on The Robot Report.

Robots, and in particular industrial robots, are programmed to perform certain functions. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a very popular framework that facilitates the asynchronous coordination between a robot and other drives and/or devices. ROS has been a go-to means to enable the development of advanced capability across the robotics sector. The post Teaching […]

What if you could design and build a surgical robot that helps doctors perform less invasive, more precise operations and achieve better patient outcomes? While the results of any surgery depend on the challenges of the specific case and the skill of the surgeon, better tools support better care. Here’s how next-generation motion engineering can […]

If you’ve ever been to a hockey game, you’re familiar with the large Zambonis that roll onto the rink between periods to resurface the ice. Motorized ice surface cleaners first began making their debut on ice rinks in the 1950s, and now, researchers are looking to make those machines run autonomously.  The post Making an […]

Exploring a new way to teach robots, Princeton researchers have found that human-language descriptions of tools can accelerate the learning of a simulated robotic arm lifting and using a variety of tools. The results build on evidence that providing richer information during artificial intelligence (AI) training can make autonomous robots more adaptive to new situations, […]

An international research team at the Incheon National University in South Korea has created an Internet-of-Things (IoT) enabled, real-time object detection system that can detect objects with 96% accuracy.  The post Researchers develop AV object detection system with 96% accuracy appeared first on The Robot Report.

NASA’s humanoid robot, Valkyrie, is starting a new mission in Australia. The robot will put its skills to the test as part of a reimbursable Space Act Agreement with Woodside Energy in Perth, Western Australia.  The NASA dexterous robotics team from the Johnson Space Center in Houston traveled to the Woodside headquarters to deliver the […]
