Let’s face it, robots are cool. They’re also going to run the world some day, and hopefully, at that time they will take pity on their poor soft fleshy creators (a.k.a. robotics developers) and help ...

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is rapidly emerging as a significant interdisciplinary research area that focuses on developing robotic technologies and interfaces that enable robots to ...

The next phase of collaborative robots eliminates the need for programming. Applications such as machine tending and palletizing can be deployed in a few simple steps. Robot programming has come a ...

A new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be ...

Plastic ketchup bottles have a valve in the lid that opens to let ketchup out, and that sometimes "sputters" if the bottle is squeezed too hard. Dutch scientists have copied that mechanism to create ...
