The future of robotic technology is as interesting as robots are bound to be boring; eventually. Sounds contradictory? Think again. Today, the latest robotic technology is well covered in the news to the point of overdoing it. A huge buzz is generated every time someone comes up with a robot that, Read More ...
In any discussion of the latest robotic technology, whenever there’s a mention of the origins of robotics, everybody thinks of Isaac Asimov. Fair enough, the science-fiction writer coined the term, and we are pretty certain without him, the things we know today as robots would be known by far less Read More ...
Journals concerning the latest robotic technology and science fiction books alike have speculated about the feasibility and ethics of weaponizing military robots. As of now, futuristic forms of autonomous robots are still just that: futuristic. However, the truth is that weaponized military robots—missile-launching unmanned combat aircrafts, machinegun-toting remote-controlled combat ground Read More ...
In yet another useful application of the latest robotic technology to industrial safety, scientists have developed prototypes of industrial robots designed to climb the inside of pipes for cleaning purposes. Industrial pipe systems are inaccessible and narrow. The pipes can be vertical and have junctions. Just as challenging, leakage points Read More ...
ReconRobotics, Inc, a leading manufacturer of military utility micro-robot kits, announced today that it has been awarded a $4.8 million contract from the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force for 315 Recon Scout XT micro-robot kits and an equal number of SearchStickTM devices. The SearchStick enables warfighters to convert any Recon Read More ...
If the way latest robotic technology can be misunderstood, under-appreciated and negatively perceived needed a showcase, the movie “I, Robot” would be the perfect candidate. It relies on slapdash pseudo-science and a general sense of paranoia that artificial (non-carbon based) intelligent life forms and robotic technology in general seem to Read More ...
It is our pleasure to introduce the “social robot”, developed at the University of Southern California, representing the latest robotic technology and a cynosure of robot world news. The New Invasion : Robotic Technology Unpalatable as it may be to many, a great invasion is imminent in near future: robotic Read More ...
One of the most enduring themes in science fiction is the use of military robots for conventional warfare. However, it isn’t entirely fiction any more. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have been working closely with the US Military in trying to understand their needs and expectations that robotic Read More ...
A research team from a reputed university in the robotics technology department is developing a robot that can get around by itself. Named Tartalo for the mythical one-eyed giant, it is intelligent enough identify different places and ask for consent prior to passing through a doorway. We are familiar with Read More ...
While robots that look, act and sound like humans have long been the subject of works of science fiction, those who follow robotics news, and developments in robotics technology, know that it’s not likely to be any time soon, and the idea may even be impractical. As a matter of Read More ...
