If you follow autonomous drone racing, you likely remember the crashes as much as the wins. In drone racing, teams compete to see which vehicle is better trained to fly fastest through an obstacle course. But the faster drones fly, the more unstable they become, and at high speeds their aerodynamics can be too complicated […]
Bulk metallic glass could reduce the prices of cobots, and also lead to advanced 3D printed metals. The post Metallic Glass Gears Up for Collaborative Robots, Coatings, and More appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
In 2022, university students’ robotics designs may hop, slither, crawl, balloon, tumble, levitate, or leap to victory, displaying alternative rover motion techniques during NASA’s annual Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-Changing (BIG) Idea Challenge. The post NASA: wheeled robots not enough for future space exploration appeared first on The Robot Report.
Robotics start-ups are releasing solutions designed to assist manufacturers address labor challenges, confront global competition and provide lasting business value. Examples include products and technologies that increase the ease and speed of robotics software development, as well as support sensor-driven autonomy and mobility. The post Start-ups Powering New Era of Industrial Robotics appeared first on […]
For more than ten years, the Robot Operating System (ROS) has been enabling innovators around the world to develop robot platforms and applications. Through its collection of tools, libraries, and conventions, ROS simplifies the task of creating complex and robust robot behavior. The post How to mitigate the impact of ROS Kinetic EOL appeared first […]
When it comes to athletic bipedal robots, nothing compares to Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot. We’ve seen Atlas run, jump, dance, and do parkour. Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) are getting in on the fun, showcasing its Cassie bipedal robot completing a 5K. The post Watch a Cassie bipedal robot complete a 5K appeared first […]
A growing number of opportunities exist for robotics-enabling technology OEMs and system integrators offering solutions that leverage the capabilities of the respective technologies for the benefit of the other. This is especially true for the use of 3D printing for the fabrication of robotics end-of-arm tooling. The post Additively Manufactured Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling appeared first […]
Xiaomi announced the release of a new quadruped robot called CyberDog. The product is designed to meet the requirements of research engineers and hobbyists who want to develop code and applications for a quadruped robot, but don’t want to pay for a platform like the Boston Dynamics Spot robot (about 1/10th of the cost of […]
Field tests affirm the wearable, lightweight, non-powered HeroWear Apex exosuit device lends flexible support for heavy lifting. The post Workers in Physical Occupations Benefit from Back-Relieving HeroWear Apex Exosuit appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
GE Research successfully completed year one of a project with the U.S. Army through its Scalable Adaptive Resilient Autonomy Program (SARA). The goal is to develop a risk-aware autonomous ground vehicle that can navigate complex, off-road test conditions. The post Watch GE’s risk-aware autonomous robot navigate through woods appeared first on The Robot Report.
