Electronic devices, including smartphones and tablet portable computers, are becoming increasingly advanced and compact. As their performance increases and their size decreases, these devices generate more heat, which can reduce their safety and cause them to break.
When developing new technologies, computer scientists and roboticists often draw inspiration from animals and other living organisms. This allows them to artificially replicate complex behaviors and locomotion patterns to enhance their systems' performance, efficiency...
Reconfigurable or "transformer" systems are robots or other systems that can adapt their state, configuration, or morphology to perform different tasks more effectively. In recent years, roboticists and computer scientists worldwide have developed new autonomous and...
Micro-sized robots could have countless valuable applications, for instance, assisting humans during search-and-rescue missions, conducting precise surgical procedures, and agricultural interventions. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have...
In recent years, engineers have been trying to develop more effective sensors and tools to monitor indoor environments. Serving as the foundation of these tools, indoor positioning systems automatically determine the position of objects with high accuracy and low...
As robots become increasingly advanced, they are being trained to complete a wide variety of tasks. Some roboticists have been specifically exploring the potential of robotic systems that can assembly items without much human supervision, as this could significantly...
Metal halide perovskites are a large class of crystalline materials with numerous advantageous features, including a high light absorption coefficient, high charge mobility and strong photoluminescence. Due to their unique properties, metal halide perovskites have...
Researchers at Tianjin University of Technology in China have recently developed a new brain network-based framework for recognizing the emotions of deaf individuals. This framework, presented in a paper published in IEEE Sensors Journal, is specifically based on...
Researchers at Harvard University and China University of Petroleum recently developed dynamic speckle holography (DSH), a new technique to measure three-dimensional (3D) maps of displacements that combines imaging and scattering approaches. This technique, presented...
Researchers at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and University of Tokyo recently developed AugLimb, a compact robotic limb that could support humans as they complete a variety of tasks. This new limb, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, can...
