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

The World’s First Nuclear Explosion Created a Rare Form of Matter

Nuclear & Particles, Physics, Science /

Eighty years ago, at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, a momentous and devastating event unfolded in the New Mexico desert. That morning, the U.S. Army conducted the Trinity test—the world’s first detonation of a nuclear bomb—using a plutonium-based implosion device nicknamed “the Gadget.” This unprecedented explosion marked the dawn of the nuclear age and

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

Study Shows the Amount of Walking Needed to Ward Off Chronic Back Pain

Healthcare, Medicine /

New research suggests that long daily walks may help both prevent and manage chronic lower back pain. A population study in Norway revealed that individuals who walked more than 78 minutes a day—regardless of pace—had a significantly lower risk of developing chronic low back pain. Back pain remains one of the leading causes of disability
