Robotic Chef Learns to Recreate Recipes From Viewing Food Videos

Credit: CanvaScientists have trained a robotic chef to view and learn from cooking videos and recreate the recipe.The scientists from the University of Cambridge programmed their robot chef with a 'cookbook' of eight basic salad recipes. After watching a video of a human showing one of the recipes, the robot chef could recognize which...

Scientists Have Developed the First Modular Body– a Living Being That Is not Alive

francescoch//Getty ImagesBiologist Cornelis Vlasman imagines the body as a functioning biological LEGO system. As well as, his clickable system of swapping human organs is coming to life … if you want to define life reasonably loosely. Moreover, you are willing to suspend reality for a bit.In a (fictional) experiment, Vlasman developed OSCAR, a living,...

In response to this challenge, Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Angola, Indiana, recently made a heavy investment in the ultraviolet (UV-C) disinfecting robots. This action...

En Route to Human Environment Interaction Technology with Soft Microfingers

Human robot communications not just enable robotics to interact with humans however likewise with the atmosphere. Microrobots, for example, can communicate with insects and measure the force exerted by them during the trip or walking.However, this communication is not direct, with the microrobots measuring insect habits primarily. Now, scientists have developed a soft micro-robotic...

Designers Obtain the Secret of Ionic Skin

In the pursuit to develop smart skin that resembles the sensing capacities of all-natural skin, ionic skins have actually revealed considerable advantages. They're constructed from versatile, biocompatible hydrogels. That use ions to carry an electrical charge. As opposed to smart skins made of plastics and also steel, the hydrogels have the soft qualities of...

A Much Easier Way to Instruct Robots New Skills

Reprogramming robotsWith e-commerce orders pouring in, a warehouse robot chooses cups off a rack. As well as places them into boxes for shipping. Every little thing is humming along until the storehouse processes a modification. As well as the robot, has to now grasp taller, narrower cups that are kept upside-down.Reprogramming that robot involves...
