Abstract: Microcantilevers, as a class of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, exhibit remarkable sensitivity and are widely applied in environmental, physical, and biological sensing. In ...
At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something ...
Engineers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a vine-like robotic gripper that wraps around objects before gently lifting them. The innovative robot consists of a pressurized box that ...
The researchers demonstrated that the vine robot can safely and stably lift a variety of heavy and fragile objects, like a watermelon.Kentaro Barhydt and Harry Asada Engineers have long looked to ...

Abstract: We provide a method for detecting and localizing objects near a robot arm using arm-mounted miniature time-of-flight sensors. A key challenge when using arm-mounted sensors is ...
I modified Isaac-Lift-Cube-Franka-V0 task and replaced Franka with a UR5 with Robotique gripper. The results were good and the manipulator was able to lift the cube without any problems after training ...
Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...
Innatera Nanosystems BV, a leading developer of neuromorphic processors that roughly mimic the functioning of the human brain, today announced the launch of Pulsar, its first commercially available ...
