The robot is ideal for use in environments such as ponds, where it won't hurt animals or get tangled in debrisEPFLTo safely collect data in delicate aquatic environments, researchers have developed a robot that mimics flatworms' swimming motion.While flatworms usually move along the seabed, they can also propel themselves through water by undulating their...
Credit: Xialin He et alHumanoid robots, designed to resemble the human body, are becoming increasingly capable of efficiently handling diverse tasks in real-world environments. Advances in their control algorithms have led to significant improvements, enabling many to move faster and mimic human-like motions more effectively.Since humanoid robots are designed to walk and run like...
The PM01 looks like it's ready to fight off mythical creatures in an effort to save the human raceEngineAIZhongqing Robotics (also known as EngineAI), a Chinese robotics company, has recently introduced a humanoid robot that performs a front flip, marking a major milestone in the field of humanoid robotics.The Challenge of Perception and Safety...
The robot is ideal for use in environments such as ponds, where it won't hurt animals or get tangled in debrisEPFLRobots collecting data in delicate aquatic environments should avoid whirring propellers that could injure wildlife or tangle in weeds. A new bot solves this problem by mimicking the swimming motion of flatworms.While marine flatworms...
