An innovative design allows for sensitive soft robots that can navigate difficult tasks and environments without bulky sensors.
Results for "sensors"
The ins and outs of an undergrad-run journal
Students at Rutgers University have set up a scientific journal that exclusively features undergraduate research papers.
Robots with involuntary behaviors seem more natural
Modeling involuntary aspects of human behavior, such as blinking or even jet lag, might help build trust in robot-human interactions.
Impact sensor to measure the force of headers
Even light blows from heading a soccer ball can contribute to long term brain injury, highlighting the need for collecting precise data.
Bio-inspired robotic eyes that better estimate motion
Event cameras mimic the human eye to allow robots to navigate their environment, and a new approach helps minimize computational costs.
Entangling particles helps improve the accuracy of quantum measurements
Using 19 different quantum computers, scientists demonstrate how entangled particles break limitations in accuracy on the sub-atomic scale.
How “wavy” whiskers help seals detect faraway prey
Recreating the bead-like structure of seal whiskers grants scientists insight into new underwater technologies.
Searching for dark matter in our solar system
Sending atomic and nuclear clocks into the inner reaches of our solar system could help scientists find proof of elusive dark matter.
Reviving mechanical computers for use in extreme environments
Putting a modern spin on old tech, scientists create a mechanical computer from metamaterials for situations where electronic computers break down.
Seahorse-inspired grabbing robots to help clean up our oceans
Researchers take a lead from seahorse tails to develop grasping robots that could help clear up trash from our oceans.
