Breaking the will of an enemy has always been one of the most important goals of warfare. One of the techniques many armies have...

Engineers at the University of Maryland developed a model combining machine learning and collaborative robotics to solve challenges in the design of materials used...

Electronics are getting smarter, but not necessarily more adaptable. Most modern chips are still built on rigid silicon wafers that crack, fail, or lose...

Solar energy has long been an important candidate for generating clean power in a time when climate change is becoming an increasing issue in...

Robots are often limited by the very components that power them. Traditional electric motors provide strength and precision, but they also add weight, rigidity,...

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....

Soft robots are often praised for their flexibility, safety, and ability to interact with delicate environments. But many of these systems still depend on...

INNOFENSE Call for startups – Dual Use Technologies: Following the immense success of the previous four cycles and their integration into the defense sector, iHLS...

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...

A Shape-shifting aircraft might be within reach thanks to a groundbreaking new alloy developed by researchers at the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS)...

Soft robots are often seen as a promising solution for operating in delicate or constrained environments, but they come with a key limitation: movement....

During training and even operational missions, an unfortunately common occurrence among troops is death by friendly fire. The situation is even more difficult for...

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...

Engineers have long looked to origami and kirigami for inspiration when designing lightweight structures that can transform shape without relying on complex mechanical systems....

Researchers from the University of North Carolina used artificial muscles and electronic skins to create advanced soft robots that are incredibly effective and safe...

Robots are often limited by how they move. Wheels struggle with obstacles, legs require complex joints and control, and propellers add weight and energy...

iHLS, in collaboration with a large defense industry is looking for companies with proven capabilities in several areas to participate in a demonstration of...

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...
