The federal government is uniquely positioned to leverage massive amounts of data to transform everything from how it operates to supporting mission-critical services and advancing vital research. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is key to that transformation, helping to drive new developments in cybersecurity, healthcare, life sciences, platform sustainment, humanitarian response, and disaster relief. Today, government agencies […]
Researchers at ETH Zurich developed Myoshirt, a soft, wearable exoskeleton for the upper body. Myoshirt is designed to act as an extra set of muscles that could give people with restricted mobility increased body strength and endurance. The post ETH Zurich develops wearable muscles appeared first on The Robot Report.
RE2 Robotics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, announced that it reached a technical milestone on its Strong Tactile mARitime hand for Feeling, Inspecting, Sensing and Handling (STARFISH).

The silicon-based computer chips that power our modern devices require vast amounts of energy to operate. Despite ever-improving computing efficiency, information technology is projected to consume around 25% of all primary energy produced by 2030. Researchers in the microelectronics and materials sciences communities are seeking ways to sustainably manage the global need for computing power. […]
FarmWise automates crop cultivation using machine vision and AI to identify crop plants from weed plants. The machine then articulates cultivation “knives” to cut the weed plant from its root, leaving the desired beneficial plants and crops intact. The post FarmWise delivers cultivation as a service for farmers appeared first on The Robot Report.
