Engineers developed a light-activated gel that boosts ion conductivity 40o TIMES

Electrical & Electronics, Engineering /

Unlike rigid electronics, living systems are soft and flexible. MIT engineers developed a biocompatible, flexible gel whose light-controlled conductivity could advance human-machine interfaces and soft robotics. Welcome to the emerging field of ionotronics, which transmits information using ions—charged molecules—much like electronics relies on electrons. While electronic systems are established, ionotronics is still emerging—except in living

Q&A: Robots may lack sensation, but new sensor technologies could change that

Robotics, Tech /

A research team led in part by Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, James L. Henderson Jr. Memorial Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State, is developing a highly sensitive electronic “skin” for robots and prosthetic limbs using pressure sensors—tiny, paperclip-sized devices capable of measuring force across a surface. Cheng is a corresponding author of

Robotic legs skate, climb stairs, and balance on one wheel in a demo

Robotics, Tech /

The Robotics and AI Institute (RAI) has released a new video of its Roadrunner robot. Despite having no torso, the two-legged machine impresses by rolling, stomping, climbing stairs, and even performing tricks on just one leg. Founded in 2022 with a US$400-million investment from Hyundai Motor Group, the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI) is led

An AI-powered foot scanner may help reduce hospital admissions

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

A new study has found that an at-home AI “foot-recognition” scanner may help prevent hospital admissions caused by heart failure. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Research, with contributions from researchers in Torbay, the device can identify oedema, a build-up of fluid in the feet and ankles. This swelling signals that heart

Bat-inspired ultrasound lets tiny drones navigate fog and smoke

Drones, Tech /

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), led by Nitin J. Sanket showed that palm-sized drones with ultrasound and AI can navigate fog, smoke, and other tough conditions using minimal power—perfect for search-and-rescue. The bat-inspired breakthrough, reported in Science Robotics, indicates that ultrasound could offer a lightweight, low-cost alternative to traditional drone navigation systems, which often
