The integration of robots in human-centered environments is becoming increasingly prevalent. With this transition, mobile manipulation and compliant control has become essential. This is particularly crucial for ensuring robust performance coupled with safety in... read more
Any quick search online for computing platforms for artificial intelligence or machine learning, and especially embedded modules, will lead you directly to the Jetson line from NVIDIA. Described as “AI supercomputers the size of a credit card,” these modules are the... read more
One wouldn’t normally make a connection between wineries and robots, but that is just what a university current project in California has combined. Stefano Carpin is a Electrical Engineering and Computer Science professor at University of California, Merced. His team,... read more
As Clearpath Robotics grows, we’ve continued to work with a number of distributors across the globe – each of them entrenched in the local robotics culture of their communities. Having local, boots on the ground partners all over the world has helped Clearpath... read more
In a recent study, University of Manchester Post-Doctoral Research Assistant Andrew West is focusing on total characterisation for remote observation in nuclear environments. In other words, West is putting lasers on robots to find out what objects are made of in... read more
Graz University, in partnership with the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) and international research organisations including Oman Astronomical Society, conducted a four-week Mars simulation mission in the Arabian desert in Oman. The study was about the execution of a... read more
Every day, researchers are finding ways to mitigate problems throughout the developing world. At the recent Social Robots in the Wild workshop at HRI 2018, Amol Deshmukh of the University of Glasgow presented a new human-robot interaction study. In the study, a team... read more
Martin Cooney and a team of social robotics researchers at Halmstad University are using the Baxter and Ridgeback omnidirectional platform to make improvements in people’s everyday lives. The project is called Action and Intention Recognition in Human Interaction with... read more
Demine Robotics Growing up in Cambodia, the world’s most heavily landmined country, demining is a cause that is very important to Richard Yim. This prompted Yim and four fellow mechnical engineering students at the University of Waterloo to develop a demining robot... read more
