Nanorobots Capable of Folding DNA can Replicate Indefinitely

Robotics, Science /

Researchers have showcased a programmable nanoscale robot constructed from a few DNA strands, which can capture other DNA fragments and assemble them to produce new UV-welded nanomachines, including duplicates of itself. In fact, the nanorobots, as reported by New Scientist, are constructed using only four DNA strands and have dimensions of approximately 100 nanometers, allowing […]

A Robotic Excavator Constructs a Sizable Stone Wall Independently

1 Comment / Robotics, Science /

Constructing a wall by precisely arranging randomly shaped boulders is a task that involves considerable physical and mental effort. This challenging undertaking, ideally suited for automation, has been successfully accomplished by a robot. The robotic entity, known as HEAP (Hydraulic Excavator for an Autonomous Purpose), is essentially a 12-ton Menzi Muck M545 walking excavator that

VRoxy Elevates Telepresence Beyond Visuals and Words

Robotics, Science /

In essence, many telepresence robots are primarily remote-controlled tablets maneuvered through a room. However, the VRoxy system distinguishes itself by mirroring the user’s movements and autonomously navigating to various spots within a designated area. A group of researchers from Cornell and Brown universities is working on developing this system. Design of the Current VRoxy Robot

Progress in Soft Robotics: Robot Overcomes Complex Obstacles

1 Comment / Applied Science, Robotics, Science /

Researchers who initially engineered a soft robot capable of maneuvering through basic mazes without external guidance have extended their innovation. They’ve created a “brainless” soft robot to navigate more intricate and dynamic environments. This new soft robot relies on physical intelligence, where its actions are governed by its structural design and materials rather than a computer or

A Dog-Like Robot Runs Autonomously Once Started

Robotics, Science /

In recent times, there has been a surge in quadruped “robotic dogs,” but they typically rely on control motors to sustain their running movements. In contrast, a novel experimental version continues to run independently after being initiated. A Canadian robotics student named Mickaël Achkar developed the device at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute by utilizing motion-capture

Initially, Robots Lead to a Decline in Company Profits

Applied Science, Robotics, Science /

Research conducted by the University of Cambridge reveals that the impact of robots on company profits follows a ‘U-shaped’ pattern. Initially, as companies adopt robots at low levels, their profit margins tend to decline. However, as robot adoption increases, profit margins start to rise again, eventually leading to higher profits. An Analysis of Industry Data

A Robotic Hand Employs Touch, Rather Than Vision, to Manipulate and Rotate Objects

Applied Science, Robotics, Science /

Scientists at the California’s University San Diego have developed a novel approach, inspired by human dexterity, to enable a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, eliminating the need for visual input. The team equipped a four-fingered robotic hand with 16 touch sensors on its palm and fingers. These low-cost, low-resolution touch sensors, each
