Pneumatic Soft Elbow Exoskeleton for Reducing Muscle Activity and Effort

Engineering, Robotics /

For workers performing long hours of lifting and repetitive tasks, even minor innovations can significantly help prevent future musculoskeletal injuries. That’s why engineers at The University of Texas at Arlington have created a soft robotic exoskeleton designed to quite literally ease the burden by reducing strain on the arm and elbow. PASE: Soft Robotic Support […]

Moth-like Drone Flies Autonomously without AI

Applied Science, Robotics /

University of Cincinnati researchers are creating a flapping-wing drone that tracks and hovers around moving light sources, mimicking a moth drawn to a flame. UC professor Sameh Eisa and his students study these efficient drones, aiming to miniaturize them for stealth surveillance. A Drone That Adapts to Its Environment Moths can hover, fly backward, and

Flexxbotics CEO Says Humanoids Need Coordination to Work in Manufacturing

Applied Science, Robotics /

As humanoid robots continue to advance rapidly, they raise more questions than answers about their potential role in manufacturing. How will this emerging technology integrate into industrial settings like factories, semiconductor facilities, and pharmaceutical labs? How will these robots understand their tasks and timing? What functionalities will be necessary for them to operate efficiently and

Mechanical Bee may make Off-World Pollination Possible

Applied Science, Robotics /

“Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States are developing a robotic bee to transform pollination in environments too hostile for natural life—even on other planets.” Lighter than a paper clip, the robot flaps its wings 400 times per second, flies at two meters per second, spins, and hovers. “We aim

Study Reveals People Forgive Machines Similarly to Humans

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics /

When technology malfunctions—like a frozen computer at a crucial moment, a GPS guiding us into traffic, or a washing machine halting mid-cycle—our initial response is usually frustration. These common annoyances often spark irritation. However, a recent study by two Israeli researchers suggests a surprising insight: we tend to extend forgiveness to machines in much the

AI-Created Viruses are Multiplying and Destroying Bacteria

1 Comment / Applied Science, Robotics /

A petri dish filled with dead bacteria isn’t typically a reason to celebrate—but for Stanford researcher Brian Hie, it marked a breakthrough in his quest to engineer synthetic life. The killer was a bacteriophage, a virus that targets and destroys bacteria while leaving human cells unharmed. These viruses have evolved over millions of years to

DeepMind Unveils its First Thinking Robot AI

Applied Science, Robotics /

Generative AI can also produce robot actions—the core idea behind DeepMind’s Gemini Robotics project. The team has unveiled two new models that work together to let robots “think” before they act. Simulated reasoning has improved language models, and that advance may soon reach robotics. DeepMind argues that generative AI is critical for robots because it
