The analysis of American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) data, presented at AAOS 2024 in San Francisco, found that revision rates were similar in conventional and surgical robot cementless TKA at two years post-operatively. The study also found that the odds of...

Healthcare is facing a severe labor shortage, so the demand for innovative solutions is on the rise. Robotics is an obvious place to look for help, but hospitals are intricate ecosystems that present a myriad of challenges to mobile robots. From automated and manual...

With the onslaught of humanoids that were introduced in 2023, it seems Atlas, the humanoid that set the stage for so much of today’s humanoid progression, has fallen out of the limelight. But on its YouTube channel today, Boston Dynamics said not so fast. Boston...

No one could blame Carnegie Mellon University students Akhil Padmanabha and Janavi Gupta if they were a bit anxious this past August as they traveled to the Bay Area home of Henry and Jane Evans. The students were about to live with strangers for the next seven days....

What happens when Department of Energy (DOE) researchers join forces with chemists and biologists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)? They use the most advanced high-performance computers to study cancer at the molecular, cellular and population levels. The...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute are creating robots that can map and repair natural gas pipelines. The team is led by Howie Choset, the Kavčić-Moura professor of computer science at CMU, who plans to commercialize the robot later this...

Solar energy is one of the most promising, widely adopted renewable energy sources, but the solar cells that convert light into electricity remains a challenge. Scientists have turned to the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart to understand how strategically...

Researchers claim a new computer model mimics Moon dust so well that it could lead to smoother and safer Lunar robot teleoperations. The tool, developed by researchers at the University of Bristol and based at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, could be used to train...

Whether it’s a powered prosthesis to assist a person who has lost a limb or an independent robot navigating the outside world, we are asking machines to perform increasingly complex, dynamic tasks. But the standard electric motor was designed for steady, ongoing...

Diamond is the strongest material known. However, another form of carbon has been predicted to be even tougher than diamond. The challenge is how to create it on Earth. The post LLNL Scientists Edge Closer to Synthesizing ‘Super-Diamond’ Carbon Phase Predicted to...

Total installations of industrial robots rose by 12% and reached 44,303 units in 2023, as U.S. manufacturers invested heavily in more automation, reported the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR, today. The automotive industry is still the No. 1 adopter,...

Visually impaired people may soon be able to use AI-powered robotic service dogs to navigate the world around them. Researchers from the University of Glasgow, along with industry and charity partners, have unveiled RoboGuide. The robot uses artificial intelligence to...
