Bugs give robotic arms a hand
When attached to the hands of robotic arms, pill bugs and chitons can function as functional grippers.
They found the chiton grasped any object placed before it, including cork and wooden and plastic objects.
Using microstructures at the tips of their toes, grippers using a living gecko could retrieve items.
Robotic printing of surgical implants
Existing surgical procedures to repair or mitigate this damage typically produce limited results.
3D bioprinting has been used to fabricate biochemical and biophysical environments.
It aims to recapitulate the native microenvironment and promote tissue regeneration.
Picking up lightsabres for Mars
A seemingly easy task is being tested to find the best strategy to collect samples on the Martian surface, some 290,000 million kilometers away from home.
The Sample Transfer Arm will need to load the tubes from the Martian surface for delivery to Earth.
ESA’s robotic arm will collect them from the Perseverance rover, and possibly others dropped by sample-recovery helicopters as a backup.
BruBotics secured a place in the Guinness World Record
Together with the visitors of the Nerdland Festival, they created the longest chain of robots ever, which also respond to light.
They set their record with a chain of 334 self-designed robots.
The BruBotics research group at VUB aims to bring robots closer to people with their record.
AutoCharge: Autonomous Charging for Perpetual Quadrotor Missions
Battery endurance is a major challenge for long-term autonomy and long-range operations, particularly for aerial robots.
AutoCharge is a quadrotor autonomous charging solution that combines a portable ground station with a flexible, lightweight charging tether
And is capable of universal, highly efficient, and robust charging.
Using an LLM to direct our robot Digit
Digit starts out knowing there is trash on the floor and that bins are used for recycling/trash.
We use a voice command “Clean up this mess” to have Digit help us.
Digit hears the command and uses a large language model to interpret how best to achieve the stated goal.
Unitree B-W superior speed versatility
Legged robots have better adaptability in complex terrain, and wheeled robots move faster on flat surfaces.
Unitree B-W, the ultimate speed all-rounder, combines the advantages of both types of two robots.
And continues to bring new exploration and change to the industry.
AI helps show how the brain’s fluids flow
A new AI technique for measuring fluid flow in the brain could lead to treatments for diseases.
The perivascular spaces that surround cerebral blood vessels transport fluids and help remove waste.
Fluid flow changes have been linked to neurological conditions.
A step toward safe and reliable autopilots for flying
Researchers created a machine-learning technique that can drive a car or fly a plane autonomously.
To arrive at and stay within some goal region while avoiding obstacles, the vehicle must stabilise its trajectory.
A machine-learning method in which an agent learns, is a more effective technique.
Mori3: A polygon shape-shifting robot for space travel
The Mori3 robot’s individual modules are triangular in shape.
Polygon meshing is a process that allows modules to easily join together to form polygons of varying sizes and configurations.
These robots can reconfigure themselves, change shape, attach to one another, communicate, and form functional and articulated structures.
