A previously unknown type of vortex has now been discovered in a study, published in Science, conducted by Dr. Lee Drori, Dr. Bankim Chandra Das, Tomer Danino Zohar and Dr. Gal Winer from Prof. Ofer Firstenberg’s laboratory at the Weizmann Institute of Science’s...
Using AI and Robots to Advance Science
Even though we invented it, humans can be pretty bad at science. We need to eat and sleep, we sometimes let our emotions regulate our behavior, and our bodies are easily and irreparably damaged – all of which can stand in the way of scientific achievement. The post...
Interact Analysis predicts strong global cobot market growth
The global collaborative robot (cobot) market topped $1 billion in revenues during 2023, despite overall demand recovering more slowly than expected post-pandemic, according to new data from Interact Analysis. Looking to the future, the market intelligence specialist...
New 3D Models Reveal How Warming Climate Affects Underwater Ocean Tides
Few things in nature are as predictable as ocean tides....But lately, researchers have noticed subtle changes in surface tidal measurements that do not coincide with changes of the Moon and Sun’s gravitational pull. Instead, collected data and theory indicate that a...
Female robotics founders discuss their journeys in the industry
Almost half of all startups that began in 2021 were formed by women, according to human resources cloud software company Gusto. Within the robotics industry, however, it’s a different story. Women make up only 34% of the STEM workforce, according to the National Girls...
Why cobots hold the key to unlocking operational efficiency in large manufacturers
Since the inception of mechanization and mass-production processes at the start of the last century, the tools large manufacturers have used to drive competitiveness and efficiency have been geared towards using size as an advantage — economies of scale, large...
