Flexible Electronics

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....

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 technology depends on precision, yet many critical systems operate in environments filled with invisible magnetic noise. Power infrastructure, medical imaging, aerospace platforms, and...

Most robots are designed around familiar biological forms. Engineers often model machines after humans, dogs, insects, or other animals, relying on centralized software and...

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

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

Conventional drones rely on spinning propellers to generate lift and maneuver in the air. While effective, this approach has limitations, especially in tight, cluttered,...

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

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

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...

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along controlled paths, but they typically...

Wearable devices need power. Wearable electronics are a big market and stretchable batteries are essential to their development. University of British Columbia researchers have...

Future warfighters will be able to charge their electronic devices without batteries or cords, thanks to a revolutionary material. A game-changing study led by...

The future forces will be equipped with a wide array of wearable devices for various purposes. One of these categories will be monitoring systems....

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

Attend the seventh Conference and Exhibition on Unmanned Systems and Robotics - AUS&R 2019. Register! Representatives from government, leading defense industries, military, security forces and law...

Humanoid robots are often promoted as versatile helpers, but in real-world conditions they remain constrained by rigid frames and limited mobility. Tight spaces, uneven...

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

From stimulating the brain to delivering medication, this innovation is set to change healthcare significantly. Medical technology keeps progressing and personalized medicine is making it...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...

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

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