Chinese Humanoid Robot First to Connect with an Orbiting Satellite

Applied Science, Robotics /

A China-developed humanoid robot has made history by directly connecting to a low Earth orbit satellite without relying on traditional ground networks. Known as Embodied Tien Kung, it became the first humanoid robot to autonomously carry out this type of satellite communication. The achievement was unveiled by X-Humanoid on Friday (23) at the 3rd Beijing […]

Chinese Researchers Developed a Chip in Ultra-thin Fibers for Smart Clothing

Applied Science, Robotics /

Chinese researchers have created a flexible, hair-thin fiber chip that enables smart clothing with interactive displays, according to Xinhua News Agency, a TV BRICS partner. Each centimeter of the fiber holds about 100,000 transistors—comparable to the processing power of a modern computer when extended to one meter. The chip can handle digital and analog signals

The Robot Speaks with Correctly Coordinated Lip Motions

Applied Science, Robotics /

People direct nearly half of their attention to their conversation partner’s lip movements. In contrast, robots typically have only simplified “caricature” lips and mouths that don’t move in sync with the sounds they produce via their speakers. Yuhang Hu and his team at Columbia University saw this as a major limitation, describing facial expression as

Scientists Developed a Robotic Hand that Detaches and Walks on its Own

Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers have created a robotic hand that can separate from its arm and independently move to access objects beyond the robot’s reach. Unlike traditional human-like hands, the new design uses a symmetrical structure to grip objects from multiple angles. The device comes in two variants, with five or six identical fingers evenly arranged around a

AI-Driven Robots May Change the Way Tomatoes Are Harvested

Robotics, Tech /

Labor shortages in the agricultural sector are fueling increased interest in robotic solutions for automated harvesting. However, certain crops continue to pose significant challenges for machines. Tomatoes, for instance, grow in clusters, requiring robots to selectively pick only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe ones on the vine. Achieving this consistently demands both accurate decision-making
