In recent years, materials scientists and engineers have introduced increasingly sophisticated materials for robotic and prosthetic applications. This includes a wide range of electronic skins, or e-skins, designed to sense the surrounding environment and artificially reproduce the sense of touch.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have received significant attention in recent years across many sectors, such as military, agriculture, construction, and disaster management. These versatile machines offer remote access to hard-to-get or hazardous areas and excellent surveillance capabilities.
This article explores five Swiss robotics startups that have recently attracted significant investments from global firms, showcasing the country's potential as a hotbed for robotics innovation and reviewing the latest robotic developments.
In this blog, we explore the fascinating world of the highways industry, where state-of-the-art cameras and their accompanying optics are highly valuable for evaluating our routes and maintaining seamless operations.
"Caution: robot!" chirps the green self-driving delivery vehicle as it trundles down the street to a pork cutlet restaurant in Tokyo to pick up a meal ordered on Uber Eats.
Scientists have developed a new robot that can 'mimic' the two-handed movements of care workers as they dress an individual.

Figure and OpenAI are collaborating to develop next generation AI models for humanoid robots.
The AV software market for Passenger Shuttles and Industrial Logistics will be a multi-billion dollar a year opportunity as cities and businesses seek new ways to move people and goods.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is looking to fuse its artificial intelligence systems into the bodies of humanoid robots as part of a new deal with robotics startup Figure.
With a unique capability of offering concept-to-commercialization services to their clients, making continuous production improvements for commercialization is a key focus.
USC has enjoyed tremendous growth over the three decades it's been in business. The company has become familiar with the hurdles intrinsic to manufacturing and distribution: supply chain disruptions, soaring labor costs, and the relentless pursuit of operational efficiency.
Hundreds of robots zip back and forth across the floor of a colossal robotic warehouse, grabbing items and delivering them to human workers for packing and shipping. Such warehouses are increasingly becoming part of the supply chain in many industries, from e-commerce to automotive production.
A radical new type of touch sensor for robotics and other bio-mimicking (bionic) applications is so sensitive it works even without direct contact between the sensor and the objects being detected. It senses interference in the electric field between an object and the sensor, at up to 100 millimeters from the object.
Stäubli’s MPS tool changer provides JAC with flexibility and minimal technician intervention during the manufacturing process, particularly during the handling and welding processes. Water, air and electrical circuits can be connected and disconnected simultaneously.
Biomimetic robots, which mimic the movements and biological functions of living organisms, are a fascinating area of research that can not only lead to more efficient robots but also serve as a platform for understanding muscle biology.
