Flexible Electronics

Launching and retrieving drones normally requires a stationary platform, clear airspace, and operators with line-of-sight control. These constraints limit how quickly drones can be...

Robots have become increasingly capable in controlled environments, but they still struggle to replicate the adaptability and precision seen in animals. Biological movement relies...

Are you a startup company related to the security sector? Are you looking for recognition, international exposure, access to investors, and the ability to...

Stairs remain a stubborn obstacle for mobile robots. Wheels are fast and efficient on flat ground, but they struggle the moment elevation changes appear....

Robots designed for industrial inspection or emergency response often face a tradeoff. Wheeled platforms can move quickly and efficiently over long distances but struggle...

A team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have been able to develop a versatile fabric that is flexible but can become...

Traditional drones rely on a simple principle: to move forward, they must tilt. This dependence on body orientation limits maneuverability, slows response time, and...

Ground robots often struggle with one recurring problem: every terrain demands a different movement strategy. Smooth surfaces favor wheels, rubble demands crawling, and narrow...

Coordinating large groups of robots usually requires complex software, wireless communication, and centralized control systems. But these approaches can become fragile in unpredictable environments...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge developed adaptive and eco-friendly spider-silk-inspired sensors that can be directly and imperceptibly printed onto biological surfaces, from flower...

Aircraft designers have long pursued wings that can adapt to changing flight conditions. Fixed surfaces are always a compromise: a wing shape optimized for...

Apco Aviation Defense is a graduate of the INNOFENSE Innovation Center operated by iHLS in collaboration with IMoD. This unique acceleration program removes entrance barriers to...

Lyuliang University researchers combined cutting-edge technology with sports science to create a tool that can track athletes and help them reach their full potential....

Robots are increasingly expected to operate in confined and complex environments, from industrial machinery to medical procedures inside the human body. Traditional robotic arms,...

iHLS is delighted to announce the Conference and Exhibition on Unmanned Systems and Robotics - AUS&R 2018, the leading event held for the sixth...

Emergency responders and humanitarian agencies often struggle with the same issue: how to deploy sturdy, lightweight shelters quickly in disaster zones where transport is...

Foldable structures are widely used in engineering because they can transform from compact flat sheets into larger three-dimensional forms. But most existing designs face...

Computer scientists at the University of Bath in the UK developed a touch screen that can be warped through finger pressure, becoming softer or...

One of the persistent limitations of robotic manipulation is reach. Even highly dexterous robotic arms are constrained by their fixed mounting points, forcing complex...

Protecting large industrial sites, airports, campuses and critical infrastructure often requires continuous patrols over wide areas. Autonomous security robots are increasingly being used to...

Researchers from Cambridge University have recently developed jelly-like stretchy batteries that could be used for wearable devices or soft robotics. Inspired by the muscle cells...

The push toward more sustainable drone designs has introduced a less obvious technical challenge: materials matter. While bamboo offers clear advantages as a lightweight,...
