An innovative bimanual robot displays tactile sensitivity close to human-level dexterity using AI to inform its actions. The new Bi-Touch system, designed by scientists at the University of Bristol ...

Computer simulations designed to teach people how to operate a vehicle can reproduce a reasonable facsimile of real-world conditions, but they lack one key ingredient: a realisic sense of motion. That ...

On-orbit assembly has become a crucial aspect of space operations, where the manipulator frequently and directly interacts with objects in a complex assembly process. The traditional manipulator ...

Engineers at a robotics design firm in Bristol, UK have come up with a unique snake-like machine that wouldn’t look out of place in a big budget sci-fi movie. Developed by OC Robotics, engineers have ...

German researchers have created the world's first robot-based flight simulator using a large robotic arm and an airplane cockpit. The simulator provides a realistic flight experience for pilots, ...

As the old saying goes, when the only tool you have is a 6 DOF industrial robotic arm, every problem looks like an opportunity to make it serve up adult beverages. [benkokes] found himself in this ...

If you have ever dreamt of owning your own precision robotic arm you might be interested in the MyCobot 280 Pi. An advanced robotic arm that is powered by the Raspberry Pi mini PC and is reshaping the ...

Give engineers any excuse, and they're going to find a way to combine robots and video games. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics created a top notch formula one ...

As clever as robots are getting, one of the key things that separates them from humans is self-awareness. Debate rages over what exactly it means for something to be self-aware, whether robots could ...
