The Center for Industrial Photonics (CIP) at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) has developed an additive manufacturing technique—laser-assisted cold spray (LACS).... Read more

A new imaging technique developed by MIT researchers could enable quality-control robots in a warehouse to peer through a cardboard shipping box and see that the handle of a mug buried under packing peanuts is broken.... Read more

A research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), has developed a novel dry adhesive technology that allows everything from microscale electronic components to common household materials to be easily attached and detached.... Read more

Traditional military training often relies on standardized methods, which has limited the provision of optimized training tailored to individual combatants' characteristics or specific combat situations. To address this, a research team has developed an e-textile platform, securing core technology that can reflect the unique traits of individual combatants and various... Read more

Inspired by how nature blends toughness and flexibility, such as the rigid structure of bone surrounded by pliable cartilage, all with elegant and precise geometric properties, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a fast, precise new 3D printing method that seamlessly merges soft and hard properties...

Scientists have revealed that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning algorithm, demonstrate superior performance compared to conventional non-machine learning approaches when used to detect lies and deception.... Read more

Imagine a future in which people with disabilities can walk on their own, thanks to robotic legs. A new project from Northern Arizona University is accelerating that future with an open-source robotic exoskeleton.... Read more

Researchers at DTU have developed a new kind of electronic material that behaves almost exactly like human skin. The substance could be useful in soft robotics, medicine, and health care.... Read more

When Armando Ernesto Chau straps on the futuristic smart glasses that a young Mozambican robotics student is developing in the family dining room, he has a vision of a life less confined to his modest home.... Read more

Visitors to France's famed Palace of Versailles can now strike up a conversation with talking statues instead of listening to a traditional audio guide, as part of a new collaboration with artificial intelligence companies, the palace has said.... Read more

Waymo's robotaxis will begin carrying passengers through parts of Atlanta on Tuesday in an expansion of a partnership with Uber that began earlier this year in Austin.... Read more

When you think of solar panels, you usually picture giant cells mounted to face the sun. But what if "solar" cells could be charged using fluorescent lights?... Read more

If you've seen an owl fly, you probably didn't hear a thing. That's because their skin and feathers dampen sound by absorbing high- and low-frequency flight noise.... Read more

In the building sector, which accounts for approximately 40% of global energy consumption, heat ingress through windows has been identified as a primary cause of wasted heating and cooling energy.... Read more

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding CO2 in two different manners.... Read more
