Savioke unveiled a new generation of its service robot called Relay+. The solution is targeted at intra-facility delivery applications for owners/operators of hotels and office properties, foodservice operators, hospitals and healthcare organizations. The post Relay+ is Savioke’s next-gen service robot appeared first on The Robot Report.

Mobile Industrial Robotics (MiR) and Logitrans A/S have teamed up to build autonomous pallet jacks. The companies plan to combine MiR’s autonomous navigation and software capabilities with Logitran’s electric pallet jacks. The plan is to make both a fully autonomous pallet jack and a semi autonomous pallet jack. The post MiR is building autonomous pallet […]

The Waymo Driver has been at work bringing on San Francisco streets providing taxi services, and trucking on highways between Dallas and Houston for over a month now. Where it’s a car or a Waymo’s semi-truck Waymo Via, the Waymo Driver is up to the task. The post How Waymo adjusted its driver for autonomous […]

Stanford researchers set out to make a robotic hand that can do it all, from picking up delicate objects like raw eggs and tomatoes, to handling large objects like basketballs. The post Stanford researchers create gecko inspired robotic hand appeared first on The Robot Report.

The robot milks scorpions by holding down the tail of the animal and providing an electric current to produce droplets of venom. The venom is collected in an Eppendorf tube below the scorpion. The post Researchers receive patent for scorpion venom extraction robot appeared first on The Robot Report.

The researchers have developed a system using a standard industrial robot that uses a parallel jaw gripper to handle objects and an Ensenso N35 3D cameras to see the world around it. The team’s system involves allowing humans to make more complex decisions that AI isn’t equipped to do, while the robot determines how to […]

Researchers at Princeton University and the University of Washington have created an ultra-compact camera the size of a coarse grain of salt. The researchers said it can take pictures as well as a camera 500,000 larger in volume. The tiny camera could someday be used in minimally-invasive endoscopies with medical robots to diagnose and treat […]

Whether moving or positioning objects, accessing dangerous environments, handling hazardous materials like medical waste or simply helping out around the house, there is a tremendous demand for autonomous mobile robots. The post Precise motion systems drive autonomous mobile robots appeared first on The Robot Report.

The robotics industry has seen tremendous growth over the past couple of years. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this growth by opening up more sectors of the economy to robotics. Today, thousands of mobile robots are running around warehouses and factories, and robotic arms that were once welding or painting in a Toyota or GM factory […]

The ultimate purpose of robotics is to improve the human condition. Our bodies are vulnerable to damage and disrepair. In the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the entry on “care robots” highlights the societal benefits over countering dystopian fears… The post Brain-computer interface startups augmenting human body appeared first on The Robot Report.
