Abstract: Flexible proximity sensors mounted on robot arms boost obstacle detection in human-robot collaboration (HRC). However, most of the flexible sensor placements lack further analysis to exploit ...

Abstract: Space robots have been considered as vehicles for the assembly of large spacecraft. Multi-robots offer the advantage of transporting the modular structure to the target position. This paper ...

A simulation engine is a powerful tool that provides realistic approximations of physical systems. With maple-sim, we integrate the open-source Java rigid-body dynamics engine, dyn4j, capable of ...

In 2021, 60 Minutes visited the offices of robotics company Boston Dynamics and met an early model of its humanoid robot, Atlas. It could run, jump and maintain its balance when pushed. But it was ...

Scientists have designed swarms of microscopic robots that communicate and coordinate using sound waves, much like bees or birds. These self-organizing micromachines can adapt to their surroundings, ...
