Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform ...

The eBook also explores single-pair Ethernet (SPE) robotics, a transformative communication standard that facilitates ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

Luggage lying around unattended at an airport justifiably triggers the jitters. The hazardous task of getting up close to inspect what could potentially be a bomb that could explode any time ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...

(TNS) — To drive a car, you need to see the world around you. But computers are blind, so autonomous cars must rely on other ways to perceive their surroundings. Lidar sensors, a laser form of radar, ...

Sensor packages are becoming ever-more-dynamic in robotics development. Robots are increasingly savvy at touching, sensing minute forces, and seeing in a variety of spectrums. I've written about the ...

The robots are here, zipping across the Colorado State University campus as students, faculty and staff pull out their cell phones to snap pictures and video clips. Depending on where they’re standing ...
