Robotic probe quickly measures key properties of new materials Developed to analyze new semiconductors, the system could streamline the development of more powerful solar panels
- This fast and agile robotic insect could someday aid in mechanical . . .
New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables
- Scientists burned, poked and sliced their way through new robotic skin . . .
Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands like a glove, enabling robots to detect information about their surroundings
- Robotic probe quickly measures key properties of new materials
An MIT robotic probe quickly measures photoconductance in new semiconductor materials By dramatically increasing the speed at which scientists can characterize these materials, this system could spur the development of solar panels that produce more electricity
- Robotic system zeroes in on objects most relevant for helping humans
MIT roboticists developed a way to cut through data noise and help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans The system could be used in smart manufacturing and warehouse settings where robots would work alongside and assist humans
- Robots: Facts about these programmable and autonomous machines | Live . . .
Robots include a wide variety of machines, such as the giant arms used to make cars, automatic vacuum cleaners, humanoid machines that look like people and do backflips, and robotic dogs
- A new model offers robots precise pick-and-place solutions
Pick-and-place machines are a type of automated equipment used to place objects into structured, organized locations These machines are used for a variety of applications — from electronics assembly to packaging, bin picking, and even inspection — but many current pick-and-place solutions are limited Current solutions lack “precise generalization,” or the ability to solve many tasks
- MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times . . .
Scientists have built a new type of robotic insect that can fly 100 times longer than previous generations
