Written by Or Shalom The Milipol exhibition, held in Singapore on April 3-5, 2024, dealt as always with homeland security technologies. The exhibition, in collaboration...

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have demonstrated that biohybrid robots, which integrate lab-grown skeletal muscle tissue, can be enhanced through physical exercises...

Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...

As humanoid and quadruped robots move from research labs into public spaces, factories, and homes, their growing autonomy is creating a new class of...

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...

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

HonuWorx, A Scottish company, is set to revolutionize the subsea services market with plans to deploy a fleet of 50 electric-powered uncrewed submarines. These...

Researchers have developed a new approach to robotic mapping that could help autonomous systems operate in unstable or cluttered environments, such as collapsed buildings...

UC Berkeley engineers have introduced a revolutionary framework called RoVi-Aug, designed to enable robots to autonomously transfer skills across different models without human intervention....

A new quadrupedal robot has been introduced at major customs checkpoints in southern China, designed specifically to carry out radiation detection in high-risk cargo...

Vision has improved dramatically in modern robots, but touch remains one of the most difficult human senses to reproduce. Detecting exactly how much pressure...

Israel’s defense-technology sector has entered a period of accelerated consolidation, with eight companies acquired over the past three months by major international defense and...

Washington State University develops two insect-like robots – a mini-bug and a water strider are the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever...

Neuralink, the neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk, has announced an exciting breakthrough in brain-machine interface (BMI) technology. A new video shared by the...

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

Robots have steadily become smaller, cheaper, and more capable—but until now, true autonomy stopped at around the millimeter scale. Below that threshold, conventional designs...

Building robots at microscopic scales creates an unusual engineering problem: even the simplest movements become difficult to produce. Conventional motors, gears and hydraulic systems...

Industrial environments such as chemical facilities, refineries, and large storage sites often involve hazardous conditions that put human workers at risk. Tasks like welding,...

India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled a new class of man-portable autonomous underwater vehicles (MP-AUVs), designed to make mine detection faster,...

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