The team demonstrated its system by commissioning a two-finger robot, RiceGrip, to transform malleable foam into a desired shape much like you could make sushi. It used a depth camera and object recognition to identify the foam, and used the model to introduce the foam as a dynamic graph of malleable materials. While it already had an idea of ​​how …

As technology continues its exponential evolution, the boundaries between man and machine begin to blur. Cornell University scientists have created the framework of what is considered possible by building machines of DNA that have the key characteristics that must be considered alive. Researchers at the innovative project have shown Express.co.uk how their "lifelike" biomaterial is capable of metabolism, assembly, and …

Apple has unveiled a brand new "secret lab" that intends to invent the future of recycling. The sci-fi facility in Texas will use artificial intelligence and a squadron of robots will rip apart iPhones – all in an attempt to save the planet. It is referred to as the Material Recovery Lab and has been set up for research and …

In Brief: Grocery stores in the US are starting to reduce the need for staff by using sophisticated automated checkout systems, smart shopping carts and now robots in their stores. New reports claim that Walmart will soon use robots to automate some of the most time-consuming tasks that his staff do. While the retail giant is not completely replacing its …

Walmart uses robots to replace human tasks that people do not like to do. In order to lower labor costs, robots are looking to clean floors, sort inventory, and replenish out-of-print items from its stores, as in The Wall Street Journal . reports.

Speaking at the SXSW over the weekend, Democrat MEP Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her view that people should not fear that automation could destroy their jobs. This is an unusual attitude, for the perceived wisdom is that the increasing automation will have adverse consequences for both workers and employees, and factory workers, lawyers, and anyone else doing repetitive work that could …

The system presented in a presentation at the USENIX Symposium on Designing and Implementing Networked Systems is surprisingly simple and novel. RFID tags are applied to an object and provide a signal that gives a robot a better idea of ​​where its target is. The system could potentially replace the view of the computer, which is often limited by the …

Amazon has more than 100,000 robots in its warehouses and, of course, has to make sure that the machines work well with human employees. The company's latest solution, which ensures that human-human relationships work smoothly, is called the "Robotic Tech Vest" – a kit that warehouse workers can wear to make them visible to nearby machines. As reported by TechCrunch …

This undated photo, provided by researchers in January 2019, shows the OroBOT, which is based on an Orobates Pabsti fossil. Scientists used a nearly 300 million year old skeleton and preserved ancient footprints to create the moving robotic model of prehistoric life. (John Nyakatura / Humboldt University on AP) Scientists now have an idea of ​​how an ancient creature is …
