Researchers in one of the top universities in China have designed a robot that say it could help save lives on the front line of the battle against the new coronavirus. According to Reuters, the machine consists of a robotic arm on wheels which can make ultrasound, take swabs from Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Since the first report on the new coronavirus (Covid-19) in the Chinese province of Uhan, it has spread to hundreds of countries around the world. With the outbreak of the epidemic, China relied on its strong technological infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI) and data analysis to monitor and combat the pandemic, while major tech giants such Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Researchers in the US announced that they created miniature live machines, a kind of biological robot that can be programmed to do various tasks, from transporting drugs into the body until it cleans toxic waste in the environment. The artificial biological organisms (named Xenobots) were created from living cells taken Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Sooner or later electric vehicles will flood the roads of developed countries, which will inevitably create the need to build more charging stations and may give birth to a problem due to limited positions and long hours required, at least with current data. For this reason, Volkswagen proposes an alternative Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Pilot program that will enable sick students to send in their place a… robot started a short time ago in Japan. The program is implemented at a school in Kasama city 60 miles north of Tokyo. The robot with the name ”Ori hime” has a small size and is designed Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
“If you have seen the “Terminator”, something like that was”, says Kerry Finn -60-year-old driver from Utah, USA- describing the bionic leg that he acquired as part of a researchers’ program at the University of Utah. The 60-year-old lost his left leg due to angiopathy caused by diabetes, and Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have created the first full-body remote control system that transmits a human’s motion to a two-legged robot. Thus, when a human operator walks, runs or jumps, the robot does the same in a synchronized manner. In the past, MIT Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
NASA will send a robotic vehicle to the south pole of the moon to examine the location and concentration of ice in the area and to take -for the first time- samples of it, to the same pole where the next man and the first woman are to be landed Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Scientists from EPFL (Switzerland) developed a soft artificial skin that provides a sense of touch and has the ability to adapt to the movements of the wearer; Paving the way for the use of this new technology in a wide range of applications, from medical rehabilitation to virtual reality.

MIT engineers have developed a robotic “thread” that is magnetically directed and can move in extremely narrow and labyrinthine areas, such as the brain vascular system. As the MIT News reports, in the future this “thread” could be combined with existing intravascular technologies, with doctors guiding it through the patient’s Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
The first successful autonomous flight of Autonomous Pod Transport (APT) 70 -a transport drone- announced by Bell. The flight took place at the test site near Fort Worth, and the company plans to continue testing the vessel under a special certification for experimental aircraft for the rest of the Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Researchers at Columbia University in the City of New York have created a robotic walking stick that can help older people and people with mobility problems. The team, led by Sunil Agrawal, a professor at Columbia Engineering, demonstrated for the first time the benefits of using an autonomous robot that Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
A Russian humanoid robot named Fedor performs the final tests and prepares to launch at the International Space Station, from Baikonur Cosmodrome on August 22, with a Soyuz rocket carrying the unmanned Soyuz craft MS-114 along with the robot. Fedor (Final Experimental Demonstration Research) is about 1.83 meters high, weighs Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Researchers at Georgia Tech’s “Robot Autonomy and Interactive Learning (RAIL)” successfully trained a robot to create its own basic tools by combining objects. This development is an important step towards more ‘intelligent’ machines capable of producing advanced tools that could be useful in hazardous environments. The whole “philosophy” is reminiscent Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Advanced systems for robots used to decommission nuclear installations are developed by Lancaster University engineers. This software will make the robots semi-autonomous –simplifying the control by human handlers, which must de facto be done remotely- given the dangerously high levels of radioactivity in the environments where the robots operate. This Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Since artificial intelligence robots have been sketching and painting, it has been a matter of time to do an exhibition of their works. The first such exhibition in the world will be made by the robotic painter Ai-Da at the “Barn Gallery” at St. John’s College in Oxford University from Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
