Study conceptualizes GenAI-driven Industry 6.0 with a successful swarm demonstration

Since the industrial revolution, manufacturing processes have continuously evolved in alignment with technological advances. Recent innovations, particularly in the field of robotics, 3D printing and machine learning, could soon facilitate further change, potentially establishing a new generation for industry standards.

A navigation system for microswimmers

By applying an electric field, the movement of microswimmers can be manipulated. Scientists describe the underlying physical principles by comparing experiments and theoretical modeling predictions. They are able to tune the direction and mode of motion through a microchannel between oscillation, wall adherence and centerline orientation, enabling different interactions with the environment.

Simplified octopus-inspired swimming robot with soft asymmetric arms can replicate swimming patterns

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new robot inspired by one of the most intelligent aquatic animals on Earth: the octopus. This robot, presented in a paper published on the arXiv pre-print server, could be used both to complete real-world tasks underwater and to study the bio-mechanical underpinnings of octopus swimming.

Alternating between independent and cooperative behavior allows robots to find their way through crowds

Robots can navigate efficiently through crowds of people by cleverly alternating between independent and cooperative behavior, and in such a way that they disturb the people around them as little as possible. This is the result of a study by TU Professor Roderich Groß posted to the arXiv preprint server.

Can you feel sorry for a robot? Research indicates you can

A pitiful sound from tinny speakers, sad virtual eyes, trembling robot arms: It doesn't take much to feel sorry for a robot. This is the conclusion of a study by Marieke Wieringa, who will be defending her Ph.D. thesis at Radboud University on 5 November. But she warns that our human compassion could also be exploited; just wait until companies find a revenue model for emotional manipulation by robots.

Porous magnetic soft grippers enable fast and gentle grasping of delicate living objects

A research team led by Associate Professor Li Mujun, Professor Zhang Shiwu, and Professor Hu Bing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed porous magnetic soft grippers (PMSGs) that can gently and quickly grasp delicate living things. They can handle a variety of objects, from thin wires to fragile organisms and have potential applications in biomedicine and scientific research. The findings are published in Advanced Materials.

Revolutionizing Warehouse Operations: Introducing the Carti Series of Robots for Logistics and Material Handling

Bear Robotics introduces Carti 100. Built to handle the complex demands of factories and warehouses while supporting up to 220 lbs, it features world-class multi-robot orchestration and integrates advanced capabilities like the Autonomous Control System (ACS).

Autonomous tech is coming to farming. What will it mean for crops and workers who harvest them?

Jeremy Ford hates wasting water. As a mist of rain sprinkled the fields around him in Homestead, Florida, Ford bemoaned how expensive it had been running a fossil fuel-powered irrigation system on his five-acre farm—and how bad it was for the planet.
