Apple engineers are working on making personal robots, a report said on Wednesday, just weeks after the iPhone-maker abandoned its efforts to develop an electric car.

The Palmer Glacier on Oregon's Mount Hood isn't the moon, but it's a good place to practice.

In natural ecosystems, the herd mentality plays a major role—from schools of fish, to beehives to ant colonies. This collective behavior allows the whole to exceed the sum of its parts and better respond to threats and challenges.

Mouser will be a major sponsor at the upcoming FIRST® in Texas/UIL State Robotics Championships, occurring April 3-6, and the FIRST Championships, on April 17-20, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

Biologist, materials scientist and bionics specialist Professor Stanislav N. Gorb and his team at Kiel University's Institute of Zoology are known for analyzing the spectacular abilities of animals and translating them into innovative technical applications. For example, they created robot grab arms based on the model of insects and a detachable adhesive film that works in a similar manner to the adhesive organs of insects, spiders and geckos.

The advantages of all-electric injection moulding machines demonstrate how automation and robots can help manufacturers bring their operations back home to the UK. Reshoring can be achieved with cost- and energy-efficiency as well as productivity benefits.

The landscape of manufacturing is set to evolve dramatically over the next two decades, as cutting-edge technologies redefine the way we produce goods. To envision what the future may look like, we do not need to rely solely on idle speculation.

The new algorithm and technology have the potential to drastically reduce complex fiber alignment and photonics alignment procedure times by several orders of magnitude, surpassing any other existing technique used for automated fiber optic alignment in the market.

What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first? You'd likely smile back and perhaps feel the two of you were genuinely interacting. But how does a robot know how to do this? Or a better question, how does it know to get you to smile back?

A new study has shown that people modify their behavior to accommodate autonomous delivery robots, and it is this invisible "human work" that allows robots to run smoothly on the streets and needs to be considered when designing their routes.

The integration of moral robots in customer service does more than just streamline operations; it fundamentally alters the relationship between businesses and their customers.

Robots equipped with AI vision systems, such as MIRAI, can perceive and adapt to their surroundings. This allows them to handle variance while performing complex tasks, making it possible to automate operations otherwise considered too complex to solve.

Bushfires can move at astonishing speeds. The land, amount of vegetation, and the weather all have a big impact on how a fire spreads. Staying one step ahead is no easy task, but our bushfire researchers are working on it.

From wiping up spills to serving up food, robots are being taught to carry out increasingly complicated household tasks. Many such home-bot trainees are learning through imitation; they are programmed to copy the motions that a human physically guides them through.
