How do these devices work? Broadly, a quantum network must interface with a quantum computer (or other quantum device), capture and faithfully transmit a qubit-based information stream to another device able to use the data.

There are more than three million industrial robots operating in factories around the world, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). The post 10 most automated countries worldwide appeared first on The Robot Report.
The world is learning to live with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response to that, comes new and improved facility cleaning and disinfection best practices. The Whiz Gambit autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is a 2-in-1 AI-powered cleaning and disinfection robot, jointly launched by SoftBank Robotics Group (SBRG) and Avalon SteriTech (Avalon). The […]
Many soft robotic grippers are inspired by the way a fish’s fin bends. They involve triangular components that bend inward, around an object to grip it. These components have transverse beams that sit at a 90° angle, which help the gripper to bend around an object. The post These robotic grippers are inspired by insects […]
These nano drones use soft actuators to fly through the air. | Source: MIT Researchers at MIT have created a tiny robot, weighing less than 1 gram, that can zip around with insect-like agility and resilience. The research team isn’t the first to take on the challenge of making tiny flying robots. After all, they […]
Academics across the world are working every day to create new technologies. Their achievements push the robotics industry forward, but bringing new technology from the lab into the real world is a challenge of its own. The post 4 tips to go from academia to a robotics startup appeared first on The Robot Report.
The use of blockchain technology as a communication tool for a team of robots could provide security and safeguard against deception, according to a study by researchers at MIT and Polytechnic University of Madrid. The research may also have applications in cities where multi-robot systems of self-driving cars are delivering goods and moving people across […]
The new five-year plan for the robotics industry is principally a good sign for China’s robotics industry. Whereas other parts of the Chinese technology sector have been hit by stricter regulatory measures in the past year, this plan highlights the ongoing political support for this field. The post How realistic is China’s five-year plan for […]
Developing SLAM systems is resource intensive, technically challenging, and expensive. In addition, the lack of common and shareable approaches for understanding the operational environment shared by robotics systems and humans has resulted in a multitude of system specific, spatial intelligence silos. There has to be a better way. The post Overcoming the Robotics Tower of […]
CubeRover, engineered by Astrobotic’s Planetary Mobility department, was designed to offer an affordable service used to carry and operate diverse scientific instruments and payloads on the surface of the moon. The post Next generation of moon rovers appeared first on The Robot Report.
