Separately, the researchers also developed a soft gripper, which can be attached to a rigid robot. It was tested in the South ...

Mounted on China's manned submersibles -- Shenhai Yongshi (Deep Sea Warrior) and Fendouzhe (Striver) -- this compact robot type has completed field tests in the Mariana Trench and other deep-sea ...

Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a ...

We tried Shark's vast vacuum lineup and explored the effectiveness of features like lift-away pods, dirt detection, and ...

Search and Rescue (SAR) operations in disaster zones demand innovative solutions to navigate complex, unstable, and hazardous environments. Traditional rigid robots, though effective in structured ...

A team of mechanical engineers at Beihang University, working with a deep-sea diving specialist from the Chinese Academy of ...

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas has elevated robotics by mastering breakdance moves using motion capture and reinforcement learning.

This work proposes six control structures based on neural networks (NNs) with proportional integral derivative (PID) and fractional-order PID (FOPID) controllers to operate a 2-link rigid robot ...

def move_up_60_deg(x, y, theta, step_size, cost): return move_in_direction(x, y, theta, step_size, cost, 60) def move_up_30_deg(x, y, theta, step_size, cost): return ...

That flexibility makes soft robotics a promising technology in complicated human environments. However, soft robotic arms tend to be weaker, shakier, and less precise than traditional robot arms made ...

It's difficult to build devices that replicate the fluid, precise motion of humans, but that might change if we could pull a ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...
