Robotics

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

Collecting data at sea often requires researchers to choose between two very different types of vehicles. Aerial drones can quickly survey large areas but...

Ancient paper-folding and modern materials science were combined by engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University to create a revolutionary soft robot with...

Many electric vehicles are powered by hydrogen fuel cells. They are favored by many as unlike traditional battery electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles...

In a groundbreaking development, engineers from Columbia University have pioneered a new method that allows robots to learn self-awareness of their movements and even...

In a study led by the University of Surrey, researchers have developed a bio-inspired method that allows robots to anticipate when an object might...

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...

Ground forces increasingly face small, fast-moving threats at close range—whether hostile personnel, light vehicles, or unmanned systems. Conventional weapons can address these risks, but...

Most robots rely heavily on cameras and external tracking systems to understand their surroundings and control movement. But in cluttered, dark, or visually degraded...

Small robots designed to cross rough terrain face a basic mechanical challenge: jumping usually requires a mechanism to store energy, release it and then...

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

A collaboration between researchers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, and Lehigh University is set to transform the aerospace industry with a new design initiative...

A new class of mechanical metamaterials developed by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is poised to revolutionize energy storage and release...

Robotics has taken a step out of the lab and into living rooms with the introduction of NEO, a consumer-ready humanoid robot designed to...

Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that are unsafe or inaccessible for humans, from collapsed buildings and underground tunnels to industrial sites and disaster...

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operate in an environment that is constantly shifting. Sudden currents, turbulence and pressure changes can destabilize rigid wings and control...

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

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

Meta Reality Labs has unveiled a groundbreaking new resource for machine learning researchers—the HOT3D dataset—designed to enhance robotic interaction with humans and objects. This...

Robots may excel at repetitive tasks, but they still struggle with objects that appear trivial to the human eye—such as clear glass, glossy metal,...

Diving remains one of the most physically demanding tasks in marine operations. Whether for research, construction, or security missions, human divers must constantly fight...

Firefighting and disaster response increasingly place human crews in environments that are unstable, toxic, or simply unreachable. Collapsed structures, chemical leaks, tunnel fires, and...
