Humanoid Robot Replaces Its Own Batteries for Continuous 24/7 Operation

Applied Science, Robotics /

Until now, robot workers had to stay plugged in or recharge periodically. UBTech has introduced the Walker S2 humanoid, which features dual batteries and can autonomously perform hot-swapping. Bringing Battery Swapping Convenience to Humanoid Robots The basic concept of battery swapping in transportation is to quickly replace a drained battery with a fully charged one, […]

Omnidirectional Ceiling Crane Maneuvers 1/4-Ton Loads with Game-Like Ease

Applied Science, Robotics /

When most people think of ceiling cranes, massive steel I-beams and heavyweight industrial systems typically come to mind — the kind that could rip a building’s foundation straight out. But CeiliX is taking a sleeker, more sophisticated approach with its omnidirectional InfinityCrane Skyrunner. How the InfinityCrane Skyrunner Works Instead of relying on traditional heavy rail

Loomia Kit Gives Humanoid Robots a Sense Of Touch

Applied Science, Robotics /

Most robots humanoids included still lack the ability to feel what they touch. To address this gap, Loomia recently introduced its first tactile sensing developer kit. The launch follows insights gathered from interviews with over 100 engineers in fields like industrial automation, medical devices, and robotics, conducted under the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program. “We

Back-Bending Robodog Tackles Confined Spaces with Greater Speed

Robotics, Science /

Most four-legged robots we see today feature rigid, single-piece bodies, a design that works well for many of their tasks.However, for tight or vertical spaces, a flexible frame offers key advantages—making the KLEIYN robodog stand out. The Advantage of a Flexible Spine While robots like ANYmal, Lynx, and Go2 showcase impressive agility and are often

Agile Robotic Hand Combines Thermal, Inertial, and Force-Sensing Technologies

Robotics, Science /

Although roboticists have developed increasingly sophisticated systems over the past decades, most current robots still lack the dexterity and sensory capabilities of human hands. As a result, their effectiveness in real-world tasks—such as household chores, disaster debris removal, and assembly or maintenance work is often limited, especially in high-temperature environments like steel mills and foundries,

Robots Can now Grow and Self-Repair using Parts From other Machines

Applied Science, Robotics /

Modern robots are limited by rigid, closed bodies that can’t grow, self-repair, or adapt. But scientists at Columbia University have now created robots that can physically “grow,” “heal,” and enhance themselves by absorbing material from their surroundings or other robots. A new study in Science Advances introduces “Robot Metabolism“—a process that lets robots take in
