A Silent Signal Designed to Save Pets in Smoke-Filled Buildings
Fires move fast, and in smoke-filled homes visibility drops to near zero within minutes. Firefighters entering these environments are trained to search for people...
From Smooth Floors to Stairwells: A New Kind of Robot Mobility
Stairs remain a stubborn obstacle for mobile robots. Wheels are fast and efficient on flat ground, but they struggle the moment elevation changes appear....
Why Future Autonomous Scouts Won’t Depend on GPS at All
Modern military operations increasingly take place in environments where GPS cannot be relied upon. Electronic jamming, urban terrain, dense foliage, and underground spaces can...
When GPS Goes Dark, This Drone Keeps Flying
Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...
Mapping at Scale: The Robot Dog Built for Modern Security Missions
Organizations responsible for logistics, infrastructure, and critical facilities are increasingly required to inspect, map, and monitor enormous areas — sometimes hazardous or inaccessible —...
Robot Fighter Copies Every Move of Its Human Operator
Robots intended for combat support or hazardous-duty missions typically rely on pre-programmed actions or remote-control interfaces, limiting how precisely they can mimic human movement....
AI “Search Dog” Learns the Field Like a Human
Search-and-rescue teams often struggle with a basic operational challenge: disaster zones are unpredictable, unmapped, and full of obstacles that confuse traditional robotic systems. Standard...
Stronger Than Muscle, Softer Than Metal: A Robotics Game-Changer
Robots intended to work alongside people or operate in confined, unpredictable environments need actuators that can bend, twist, and conform in ways that traditional...
A New AI System Might Mean that Ships Will No Longer...
Monitoring vessel movements has become far more difficult in recent years. Ships involved in sanctions evasion, smuggling, or illicit transfers frequently disable their Automatic...
The Invisible Hand: How Drones and Lasers Are Rewriting the Rules...
Forget the battlefields of old. A silent, rapid transformation is underway, fundamentally altering the calculus of conflict and ushering in an era where speed,...
Meet the Mini Drone That Flips Like a Bug and Navigates...
Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...
A New 3D View of the World Built for Preparedness and...
Understanding how people build, expand, and occupy space has become a strategic priority for governments and emergency planners. Yet most global datasets still represent...
5G-in-a-Box: A Fast Fix for Disaster and Defense Missions
Large-scale emergencies often trigger a secondary crisis: the sudden loss of communications. Floods, fires, earthquakes, or cyberattacks can knock out established infrastructure within minutes,...
The Robot That Changes Shape to Beat Any Terrain
Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...
Origami Reinvented: A Fold Tough Enough for Field Use
Emergency responders and humanitarian agencies often struggle with the same issue: how to deploy sturdy, lightweight shelters quickly in disaster zones where transport is...
Robot Dog Tackles Disaster Zones So Humans Don’t Have To
Major disasters often create environments too unstable or hazardous for human rescuers to enter. Collapsed structures, toxic fumes, flooding, and narrow access points can...
Pawsitive Technology: Artificial Intelligence Redefining the World of Working Dogs
Pawsitive Technology is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the...
Smart Charging Pads Could Sustain Robots Anywhere
Supplying power to robotic explorers on other planets has always been one of the hardest problems in space engineering. Rovers operating millions of kilometers...
GPS-Free Navigation: How Robots Are Learning from Insects, Birds, and Rodents
Autonomous robots face a persistent challenge - navigating complex, unpredictable environments without human intervention. Standard navigation systems typically rely on GPS to locate a...
Smarter Mapping for Search-and-Rescue Robots
Researchers have developed a new approach to robotic mapping that could help autonomous systems operate in unstable or cluttered environments, such as collapsed buildings...
When Every Second Counts: Vigor Medical Transforms Ultrasound into a Smart,...
Vigor Medical is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to the...
New Solar Film Could Help Solve the Global Water Crisis
A new solar-powered water purification film has been developed as a low-tech, high-impact tool for delivering safe drinking water in areas without reliable infrastructure....
