Adept Technology Inc. which is known with its autonomous mobile robots, launches Adept Lynx. It was demonstrated at the Automate 2013 and ProMat show in Chicago, Illinois. Adept Tech. Inc. realized that the cost of moving and delivering goods can be more than two-thirds of total production costs; and what is more, the time spent in moving and delivery also costs productivity and efficiency. The […] Read More

A new autonomous flying robot has been developed by the Computer Science Department at Cornell University. The robot is able to avoid obstacles totally by itself, without any human guidance. It produces a 3D map of its environment and then locate the obstacles within the map. Autonomously locating the obstacles while flying has a main advantage over remote controlled operation, such as the ability to […] Read More

• Introduction Since the beginning of industrial revolution, people always dreamed of newer and better machines doing tasks that could not be done at the time. When we first got introduced to radio, we wondered if one day we would be able to also see those people speaking on the radio too. When we first saw computers as big as a room, we wondered if […] Read More

The 4 legged LS3 robot, which is an upgraded version of big dog robot produced by Boston Dynamics for DARPA, has gotten more abilities like following people on command and it is much less noisy too, in comparison to the previous big dog model which sounded like a lawn mower in full speed. The robot, LS3, is an autonomous robot which is supposed to carry […] Read More

EDINA, Minn. – (May 2, 2012) ReconRobotics, Inc. announced today that the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) has purchased and taken delivery of 13 Recon Scout® XT micro-robot kits, which it has distributed to pre-designated Type 1 tactical teams throughout the Washington DC area. MWCOG purchased the tactical reconnaissance robots using grant funds from the Urban Areas Security Initiative, which were awarded to MWCOG […] Read More

Restoration Robotics has created the ground-breaking ARTAS™ System, the first and only FDA cleared, physician controlled, interactive, computer assisted technology that allows safe and effective follicular unit extraction (FUE). The ARTAS System was developed in close collaboration with several leading hair restoration physicians to enable minimally invasive harvesting of hair follicles. Hair restoration moves healthy, functioning follicles to the areas of the patient’s scalp most impacted by […] Read More

Military Robotics – Coming on in Leaps and Gallops! Those who believe that one day soon humans will be walking the streets with robots took one step closer to this reality recently when a robot prototype reached a speed of 18 miles per hour. Whilst the streets are safe for the time being from things like robot courier services, this is a big move forward in […] Read More

Engineers in Belgium have made a fully autonomous tractor robot, which can stay on course within centimeter precision while at the same time detecting wet terrain, aticipating slippage and calculating its optimal speed, thus operating much more efficiently than a human driver could. The vehicle is equipped with GPS system and various positional sensors. See video above.     Read More

Researchers at Florida Institute of Human Machine Cognition have made a leg design for a robot Ostrich that would allow the robot to run on two legs with speeds up to 30 km / hour by using only one actuator per leg. The project is funded by DARPA, just as many other robotic projects, which aims to have machines performing with extreme capabilities and ease […] Read More

The famous Big Dog robot from Boston Dynamics which was first made public a couple years ago now evolved into its next generation model, Alpha Dog. The new robot will be able to carry loads up to 400 lbs and travel a distance of 20 miles on single charge. For more on the robot please visit here. Read More
