The National Oceanography Centre is completing development of two new classes of autonomous underwater vehicle

With large high-tech sustainable farming facilities located in Northern California and Texas, Silicon Valley-based startup Iron Ox relies heavily on robots to help shoulder the workload. The company's latest bot, named Grover, can lift over 1,000 lb (454 kg).

L'enginyer de robòtica català, Hilario Tomé és el creador de l'empresa i el guardonat amb 750.000 dòlars de la mà de l'agència americana Darpa

Alphabet released new details about how prototypes from X's Everyday Robots project are being tested in Google's offices in the Bay Area.

Last mile, literally.

A future-focused ship designed as the world's first all-electric, autonomous cargo vessel has debuted in Norway, where it is intended to replace 40,000 diesel-powered truck journeys every year. The Yara Birkeland made a short, crewed trip to the capital of Oslo as part of its unveiling, with work to now begin on certifying it as an autonomous container vessel ahead of commencing commercial operations.

L'enginyer català Hilario Tomé ha guanyat el primer premi de robòtica de l'agència americana Darpa, considerat dins del sector un dels més prestigiosos del món.

They’re a long way from taking human jobs.

UPS is testing Waymo Via's autonomous trucks in Texas. The trucks are driving autonomously on highways between Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston.

Although we hear a lot about the development of urban aerial delivery drones, it's quite likely that autonomous ground-based delivery vehicles will be in wide use first. REE Automotive's Leopard EV is one example, and it's just been unveiled as a physical concept vehicle.

Tests have proven that the robot can conduct lengthy deployments in real-world conditions

At CES 2018, Honda debuted a prototype off-road rover designed to help out at construction sites, in agriculture, in search and rescue operations, and more. By the end of the year, the Autonomous Work Vehicle had been put through its paces in California, Colorado and North Carolina. Now the second…

A growing number of tech firms have developed robots the say could replace bar staff.

The rover has been exploring the role of the deep sea in cycling carbon.

Since the start of 2021, orders have been placed for about 29,000 robots, an almost 40% increase from the same period last year, Reuters reports.

L'objectiu de la companyia és proporcionar una interacció empàtica entre els humans i les màquines

As 3D-printed construction becomes more common, it's being used for everything from housing to schools and bridges. Now yet another example of the cutting edge tech's usefulness comes from Advanced Intelligent Construction Technology (AICT), which has completed what it hails as the first 3D-printed park in Shenzhen, China.

Inspection robots can be found everywhere, whether in sewer systems, on wind turbines, or at the bottom of the ocean. And their numbers are expected to increase dramatically in coming years.

Logró salir ileso, pero Mustafa al-Kadhimi, primer ministro de Irak, debió llevarse un buen susto. Hace unos días logró salvar la vida en un atentado con...

Acabo de ver las características del nuevo dron que ha presentado DJI, el DJI Mavic 3, y me ha generado una reflexión sobre la velocidad del progreso de la tecnología: DJI lanzó su serie Mavic en septiembre de 2016, y ya era, de por sí, un aparato sumamente competitivo, plegable, con una cámara de 12MPX capaz de grabar videos 4K a 24 fps, un tiempo de vuelo de 27 minutos (y todas las prestaciones que han convertido el volar un dron en algo al alcance de cualquiera, con estabilización automática y retorno a base (RTH) cuando la batería desciende

The level of readiness for drone and robot delivery technology is still relatively low and varies quite from country to country.

It goes without saying that a lot of people are receiving the COVID-19 vaccine these days, and will continue to do so for some time. A new robot is designed to help streamline the process, by autonomously – and needle-lessly – vaccinating human patients.

A new challenge for the Google spinoff.

World-renowned science author Yuval Noah Harari said that someday human brains could be hacked into if emerging AI systems are not properly regulated.

In 10 years, driverless taxis are projected to service up to a quarter of all kilometres passengers travel on shared mobility in Beijing and Shanghai.

La robòtica encara està en procés de desenvolupament i implementació en el seu ús de cara al públic

Back in 2016, we caught wind of an interesting research project looking to make use of Amsterdam's famously abundant waterways by deploying autonomous vessels to transport people and goods. These so-called Roboats have undergone a number of redesigns in the years since, and their creators have now…

Roboat, a full-scale, fully autonomous robotic boat developed at MIT, is launching along the canals of Amsterdam. The work comes from researchers in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Senseable City Laboratory, together with Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) in the Netherlands.
