We’re talking about composites, which are basically materials made from two or more different components. Think of it like a ...
Robot covers increase safety, reliability, and equipment lifespan. Workers appreciate consistent robot performance and the ...
NC: I see myself as a proponent of computation in the field of smart materials. But the word ‘smart’ is overloaded; there is also a lot of discussion about active materials. I created the term ...
Northwestern Engineering’s Ryan Truby and his team members received a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Director’s Fellowship, which is presented to selected DARPA Young Faculty ...
(Nanowerk News) A team of UCLA engineers and their colleagues have developed a new design strategy and 3D printing technique to build robots in one single step. A study that outlined the advance, ...
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden are blurring the lines between robotics and materials, with a proof-of-concept material-like collective of robots with ...
A team at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials developed a robot to collect samples for COVID-19 testing. The robot is remotely controlled by a healthcare provider, reducing the risk of ...
A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...
Header: Students working with the soft material in the lab. Above: Roncone talks with undergrad Ella Sarder about a problem. The human skin is an amazing organ, with distinct tactile “sensors” for ...
