A team of researchers at UC Berkeley recently developed a new multi-directional tactile sensor, called OmniTact, that overcomes some of the limitations of previously developed sensors. OmniTact, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, acts as an artificial...

Soft robots are typically slower and are less precise for manipulation than more rigid devices, but biomechanics have inspired advances in those capabilities. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed soft robots inspired by cheetahs. The post...

More apps than ever are offering location services indoors, even without GPS, as we walk around malls or other large indoor areas. Could these technologies that are thriving on mobile devices be transferred to mobile robots, autonomous or otherwise? The post Q&A:...

Designers and engineers require prototypes to verify product design and manufacturability and engineering, before moving on to full production. But how can start-ups and smaller companies, who lack the high level of resources and expertise of larger firms, rapidly...

The difficulties of maintaining critical infrastructure are well known — millions of miles of cabling, pipelines, and railways to inspect, maintain, and repair, in all kinds of weather, in environments that are hazardous for humans. Even as pandemic restrictions begin...
