AI Tech to Give Robotic Exoskeletons the Ability to Think
A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada is developing an integrated AI technology that enables exoskeletons and prosthetic legs to make independent decisions. The sophisticated tech involves using computer vision and deep-learning AI to mimic and
This ‘amphibious’ robot was inspired by the movement of cockroaches and lizards
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel have developed a new high-speed amphibious robot inspired by the movements of cockroaches and lizards, which can swim, run on top of water at high speed and crawl on challenging terrain. The AmphiSTAR robot was

Walmart is teaming up with several partners to use drones to deliver COVID-19 test kits to homes in Texas. El Paso is one of the cities that will get a pilot program. The El Paso Walmart Supercentre will launch drone deliveries
Scientists have given robots a ‘brain’ so they can self-repair when they detect pain
Using artificial intelligence (AI), scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have developed a way for robots to recognise pain and to self-repair when damaged. The scientists adopted a brain-inspired approach when creating the system and as a result, the robot
The Kraken Project at Spain’s Aitiip Technology improves hybrid 3D printer robots
2020 has seen Aitiip’s European scientists hugely improving the efficiency of Kraken “the all-in-one fully integrated machine for multi-material hybrid manufacturing”. Funded by the EU and based in Zaragoza, Spain, the Kraken Project’s hybrid 3D printer robots have improved productivity and
