Bird-Like Robot with Novel Wings Achieves Self-Takeoff and Slow Flight

Applied Science, Robotics /

In 2021, Chinese scientists developed the RoboFalcon, a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot featuring a new mechanism that powered bat-like morphing wings for flight. Although effective at cruising speeds, the robot was unable to fly at lower speeds or take off independently. The same research team has now refined their design, unveiling RoboFalcon 2.0 in Science Advances. […]

Building Robots that Adjust Based On Your Feelings

Applied Science, Robotics /

Robots may be becoming more intelligent, but to genuinely assist people in everyday life, they must also develop greater empathy — the ability to detect and respond to human emotions as they happen. Why Emotional Intelligence Matters in Human-Robot Interaction Intelligence alone isn’t enough when interacting with humans in real-world settings; understanding context, mood, and

Interacting with Robots can Reduce Feelings of Loneliness for Caregivers

Robotics, Science /

These interactions with a social robot provided caregivers with something they deeply miss. In a quiet room at the University of Cambridge, something remarkable took place—not through technology or programming, but through simple conversation. A group of informal caregivers, emotionally drained from supporting their loved ones, discovered a sense of comfort not from therapy or
