Flexible Electronics

Soft robots are often designed for a single task. Once their structure and internal wiring are set, their range of motion is fixed, limiting...

Organizations responsible for logistics, infrastructure, and critical facilities are increasingly required to inspect, map, and monitor enormous areas — sometimes hazardous or inaccessible —...

Legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years, but most advanced quadruped systems remain expensive, complex, and difficult for students, hobbyists, and researchers...

Innovative wearable tech uses conductive threads stitched into clothes that can record body movements. They are called SeamSleeve and were created by a team...

Maintaining armored vehicles is often as demanding as operating them. Tank engines are packed with sensors, wiring, fuel lines, and mechanical components layered in...

In a breakthrough that merges traditional ceramics with cutting-edge technology, researchers at Empa’s Laboratory for High-Performance Ceramics are reshaping the future of robotics and...

Designing materials that can actively change shape or function on demand remains a major challenge. Most artificial actuators rely on motors, wiring, or external...

Electronics that several years ago were considered too heavy or bulky for unmanned aircraft systems (UAVs) to carry are becoming light and flexible. Sometimes...

Handling irregular, delicate, or heavy objects remains a persistent challenge for both industrial automation and frontline operations. Conventional grippers rely on rigid claws or...

Drones have become valuable tools for inspection, emergency response, industrial monitoring, and aerial reconnaissance. Yet even advanced platforms often struggle in confined environments filled...

iHLS and the Ministry of Defense invite you to join the fifth cycle of INNOFENSE and receive a remarkable opportunity to showcase your technology...

Modern militaries continue to search for reconnaissance tools that can operate where drones and ground robots struggle — inside collapsed buildings, narrow tunnels or...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a new biomimetic underwater robot designed to operate almost invisibly beneath the surface. Modelled after a jellyfish, the transparent robot...

Designing underwater robots that can move efficiently and adapt to changing currents remains a complex challenge. Traditional systems rely on external sensors and pre-programmed...

Are you developing a ground-breaking technology in the fields of unmanned systems, coping with COVID-19 pandemic, counter drones, border security, safe city? We invite you...

Robots designed for ground exploration often struggle with two conflicting demands: they need to travel long distances efficiently, yet also maneuver through cluttered or...

Traditional robots are typically built around rigid frames, motors, gears, and joints. While this design works well in structured environments, it becomes less effective...

Researchers from North Carolina State University created a material that is both hard and stretchy –glassy gels contain more than 50% liquid and are...

Hand edema can significantly limit mobility, reduce grip strength and complicate recovery following injury, surgery or chronic illness. Standard treatments often rely on manual...

For the first time, researchers have used a customized, low-cost 3D printer to print electronics on a real hand. The technology could be used...

Modern ground forces face a growing requirement for armored vehicles that can survive sophisticated threats, integrate advanced sensors, and deliver sustained firepower in shifting...

Long-range strike capabilities often face a trade-off between endurance, precision, and survivability. Systems that can reach distant targets may depend heavily on satellite navigation,...
