There are hydrogen bandages, and then this newly developed wireless smart bandage. Stanford University researchers claim this innovation promotes faster closure of wounds, increased blood flow to injured tissue, and enhanced skin recovery by significantly reducing scar formation.
Set to be introduced at the IEEE International Conference on Robotic Computing in Italy next month, Golfi is basically a golf robot that can putt like a professional. It does this by utilizing a Microsoft Kinect 3D camera mounted on the ceiling to capture a depth map of the green and that data is then sent to a physics-based model.
Building the world’s largest Xbox Series X requires a lot of work to say the least, but MIT has developed assembler robots that could make the job easier in the future. This fully autonomous. self-replicating robot assembly system will eventually be capable of assembling larger structures as well as planning the best construction sequence.
Unlike this sitting on air trick, University of Maryland’s real invisibility cloak is simpler than you think. It consists of a pullover with a stay-dry microfleece lining with adversarial patterns the evade most AI facial recognition cameras.
LG Display unveils the Thin Actuator Sound Solution (TASS), an invisible speaker for automobiles that is set to be commercialized in Q1 2023. Speakers normally consist of a voice coil, cone, and magnet, while this solution is extremely thin, thanks to LG Display’s film-type exciter technology. It works by vibrating off display panels and various materials inside the car body to produce rich, 3D immersive sound experiences.
Elbit System’s LANIUS drone is designed to carry both lethal and non-lethal payloads, or in other words, explode upon reaching its intended target. These unmanned aerial vehicles sit atop a larger drone and can be deployed from there, thanks to its relatively light 2.76-pound frame. On a full charge, the small lithium battery is good for a flight time of up to 7-minutes.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science and University of California, Berkeley have developed a low-cost robot dog capable of climbing as well as descending stairs nearly its height. That’s not all, it can also traverse rocky, slippery, uneven, steep and varied terrain, including rocks as well as curbs.
Google’s new robot is getting closer to understanding natural language that humans might use, thanks to the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) that can now be applied to planning and interaction for robotics. This means that soon, robots will be able to decipher simple phrases, such as ‘when you have a minute, please grab me a drink’, instead of only basic words.
North Carolina State University researchers have developed a manta ray-inspired ‘butterfly bot’ that is now the fastest swimming soft robot yet. They were named as such due to their because their swimming motion mimicking a human’s arms when performing the the butterfly stroke in water as well as having biomechanics inspired by the manta ray.
While APPTRAKK won’t work on Europa, this wearable anti-drowning device, developed by Macquarie University researchers, detects signs of drowning and alerts lifeguards to the swimmer’s location. Sensors on the bracelet have built-in sensors to detect heart rate, blood oxygen, water depth, submersion time and movement patterns.
