Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have demonstrated for the first time how to use a type of material called a liquid crystal to build the basic pieces needed for logic operations, clearing the way for a completely new manner of computing. The findings, which were published in Science Advances […]
A University of Bristol team has created a new driving system for flapping-wing autonomous robots, which uses an electromechanical zipping mechanism that eliminates the need for conventional motors and gears. This new advance, published today in the journal Science Robotics, could pave the way for smaller, lighter and more effective micro flying robots for environmental monitoring, […]
“You’ll see robotic hands do a power grasp and a precision grasp and then kind of imply that they can do everything in between,” said Wilson Ruotolo, PhD ’21, a former graduate student in the Biomimetics and Dextrous Manipulation Lab at Stanford University. “What we wanted to address is how to create manipulators that are […]
