There’s a common popular science demonstration involving “soap boats,” in which liquid soap poured onto the surface of water creates a propulsive flow driven by gradients in surface tension. But it ...

Scientists at the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI), part of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), have investigated the impact of the shadow produced by moving cleaning robots on ...

In life science research involving cells, experiments are increasingly being conducted using robots. However, the impact of experimental parameters set for robots, such as the flow rate for aspirating ...

How can a horde of active robots be automatically brought to a standstill? By arresting their dynamics in a self-sustained way. This phenomenon was discovered by physicists at Heinrich Heine ...

Though it’s the robot arms and architecture that get most of the attention, the end effectors (or end-of-arm tooling) is where the action happens…or doesn’t happen if the end effector can’t adapt to ...

That seems like something they should have thought of. They've open-sourced the design, publishing it for anyone to build and develop in a paper in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI. The robot ...

Amazon unveiled more than 750-thousand robots it will use to sort, lift and carry packages in the company’s warehouses. But what does this mean for the online seller’s human workforce? Cybersecurity ...

Gearbox architecture is often treated as an internal robot supplier decision. In deployment, however, reducer behavior ...

PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) — Eric Horvitz illustrates the potential dilemmas of living with robots by telling the story of how he once got stuck in an elevator at Stanford Hospital with a droid the size ...
