A fabric-based haptic sleeve controls drone flight through arm movement and helps train users by applying corrective forces to body joints.
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Rice-sized robots maneuvered with magnetic fields
Researchers create swimming, moving, gripping miniature robots.
A robot that smiles back
Researchers teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, an ability that could build trust between humans and their robotic co-workers and care-givers.
Invisible codes help robots make sense of their environment
A new material helps robots analyze and navigate their environments by scanning codes invisible to the human eye.
Robots will save the world from asteroids. Eventually.
Asteroids are always pelting Earth, but what happens if the big one comes along? The European Space Agency’s new asteroid telescope is coming to the rescue.
Even without a brain, metal-eating robots can still search for food
The “metal-eating” robot can follow a metal path without using a computer or needing a battery.
DraBot: A soft robotic dragonfly that senses and monitors its environment
Electronics-free DraBot uses air pressure, microarchitectures, and self-healing hydrogels to watch for changes in pH, temperature, and the presence of contaminants.
A spotlight on robots helps them turn “feeling” into movement
Researchers recreate the somatic nervous system in robots, allowing them to convert feeling into movement under different stimuli.
Flexible microtools for safer, more effective surgeries
Thanks to ultra-thin sensors and artificial muscles, future flexible microelectronics will be able to take on complex shapes to better interface with delicate biological tissues without causing damage.
