With Adaptive Motion, Robots Achieve Human-Like Dexterity from Minimal Data

Although robotic automation is advancing quickly, most systems have difficulty adjusting their pre-trained movements to environments with objects that vary in stiffness or weight. To address this, a team of researchers in Japan has created an adaptive motion reproduction system based on Gaussian process regression. Their approach models the relationship between human motion and object […]

Chinese Firm Makes Fireproof Fabric for 2,192°F

At China’s second Public Security Tech Expo in Lianyungang, Safmax introduced advanced fabrics that reportedly withstand extreme heat while staying breathable, waterproof, and windproof, according to an 18 September article by Interesting Engineering. Safmax says its flame-resistant fabric can endure temperatures up to 2,192°F (1,200°C) without melting, shrinking, or losing shape. The fabric protects firefighters,

Automation and Smart, Data-Driven Tech are Transforming Construction’s Future

Atlas, CU Denver’s robotic dog, navigated the crawlspace of the Anythink Nature Library construction site in Thornton last month, its lights flashing as it worked its way through narrow, dim corridors. At the entrance, Associate Professor Moatassem Abdallah and seven students analyzed Atlas’s 360° footage and sensor data to guide the project’s next phases. The

This laser Technology can Read text from a mile Away

Your vision might be sharp enough to read small print at the optometrist from a few meters away, but it pales in comparison to a new device recently demonstrated by researchers. This device successfully scanned tiny individual characters from a staggering distance of 1.36 kilometers (about 0.85 miles). How Intensity Interferometry Redefines Imaging Unlike traditional

US Space Force Invests In Space-Based Aircraft Carrier For Satellite Protection

The US Space Force has secured a contract worth up to US$60 million to develop and deploy a type of aircraft carrier in space. While this may sound unusual, the purpose is to position space vehicles in orbit to quickly address potential threats. Space Once Seen as a Peaceful Zone, Now the Battlefield of the

Modern Prosthesis Allows Natural Walking

Modern prosthetic limbs help people with amputations walk naturally but don’t give full neural control. They use robotic sensors and pre-set algorithms to move. MIT researchers, with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, developed a new surgical method and neuroprosthetic interface. This allows a prosthetic leg to be controlled entirely by the nervous system. By reconnecting muscles

Night Vision Goggles Gain Thermal Imaging with a Clip-on Module

Night vision goggles and thermal imaging scopes are valuable individually, but combining them offers the advantages of both. Thermoteknix has developed an attachment for those who only have night vision goggles, enabling thermal imaging with a simple click. Night vision technology has revolutionized military tactics and also benefits law enforcement, naturalists, and even those hunting

DARPA Aims to Wirelessly Charge Drones Mid-Flight with Power-Beaming

DARPA has boosted funding for far-field wireless power transfer, or power-beaming, for in-flight drone charging. This eliminates the need for mission interruptions for recharging or battery replacement, potentially saving critical missions. Dr. Ifana Mahbub, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at The University of Texas, received DARPA’s Young Faculty Award in 2021, granting

Directed Energy Weapon Fires 13-Cent Shots Instead of Million-Dollar Missiles

A new directed energy weapon is being introduced to strengthen British defense capabilities. Costing only 13 cents per shot, it is as effective but significantly cheaper than the multi-million dollar missiles it aims to replace. The Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapon (RFDEW) is part of the British government’s strategy to address evolving geopolitical challenges, increasing
