Autonomous synthesis robot uses AI to speed up chemical discovery

Chemists have developed an autonomous chemical synthesis robot with an integrated AI-driven machine learning unit. Dubbed 'RoboChem', the benchtop device can outperform a human chemist in terms of speed and accuracy while also displaying a high level of ingenuity. As the first of its kind, it could significantly accelerate chemical discovery of molecules for pharmaceutical and many other applications.

Safeguarding Your PCBA Design From Electromagnetic Interference

With our increasing dependence on electronic devices, it is imperative that these systems seamlessly operate within their electromagnetic environments. Addressing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and fostering Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) emerge as critical concerns

Moving humanoid robots outside research labs: The evolution of the fully immersive iCub3 avatar system

Over the past four years, a research team at the Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence (AMI) lab at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) in Genova (Italy) has developed advanced avatar technologies, known as the iCub3 system, in continuous testing with real-world scenarios.

The Helix 511 delivers ultra-reliable, fanless computing using Intel® 12th Generation performance hybrid processing. The system is ideal for real-time decision making in robotics, with support for 4 simultaneous serial connections. Thanks to its fanless design, the Helix 511 is resistant to damage from airborne particulate, extreme temperatures, shock and vibration, and electromagnetic interference.

OnLogic Karbon 430 Fanless Rugged Computer The K430

OnLogic Karbon 430 Fanless Rugged Computer The K430 packs the power and advanced IoT capabilities of modern Intel processing into a low profile, highly customizable, rugged fanless system built for the challenges of the IoT Edge. Internal components are protected from dust, debris, chemicals, and moisture thanks to fanless and ventless cooling. The Karbon 430 features an operating temperature range of -40° to 70°C, 9~48 V power input, and zero moving parts, all of which help to ensure a long system lifespan.

Biomechanics model that shows how humans efficiently walk at varied speeds could pave way for new robotics

We typically don't think about it while doing it, but walking is a complicated task. Controlled by our nervous system, our bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues (i.e., the musculoskeletal system) must move in coordination and respond to unexpected changes or disturbances at varying speeds in a highly efficient manner. Replicating this in robotic technologies is no small feat.

A soft swimming robot without wires or batteries that can test for contaminants

A team of biomedical engineers and roboticists affiliated with multiple institutions across China has developed a type of small, soft robot that can swim through water and test for contaminants. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the team notes that the robot can be powered and controlled using radio waves.

A wearable robot that makes climbing mountains easier

As people age, they gradually lose muscle strength in their arms and legs, making it difficult for them to participate in leisure activities such as hiking and traveling, and they often need to rely on assistive devices such as canes and wheelchairs for mobility. However, these devices do not improve muscle strength, so wearable robots that can compensate for the lack of muscle strength are attracting attention as an innovative technology to improve the health and quality of life of the elderly.
