Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays allow users to experience digital content in more immersive and engaging ways. To keep the users as immersed in the content as possible, computer scientists have been trying to develop navigation...
In the past few years, a growing number of computer scientists have been exploring the idea of "metaverse," an internet-based space where people would be able to virtually perform various everyday activities. The general idea is that, using virtual reality (VR)...
In the future, many computers will most likely be based on electronic circuits made of superconductors. These are materials through which an electrical current can flow without energy losses, could be very promising for the development of high-performance...
In recent years, roboticists and material scientists worldwide have been trying to create artificial systems that resemble human body parts and reproduce their functions. These include artificial skins, protective layers that could also enhance the sensing...
In recent years, roboticists have developed a wide variety of robotic systems with different body structures and capabilities. Most of these robots are either made of hard materials, such as metals, or soft materials, such as silicon and rubbery materials.
Researchers at RWTH Aachen University in the team of Prof. Sebastian Trimpe and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) Stuttgart have recently developed the Wheelbot a symmetric reaction wheel unicycle that can autonomously jump onto its wheels from...
In recent years, material scientists have designed a wide range of innovative materials that could be used to create new technologies, including soft robots, controllers and smart textiles. These materials include artificial muscles, structures that resemble...
Typically, the key goal of electronics engineers is to develop components and devices that are durable and can operate for long periods of time without being damaged. Such devices require resistant materials, which ultimately contribute to the accumulation of...
Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (VR) and extended reality (XR) technologies allow users to experience digital content in unique and immersive ways. These technologies primarily rely on the use of headsets, glasses or goggles that project images through their...
Roboticists worldwide have recently been developing a wide range of sophisticated robotic systems designed to operate and complete missions in different environments. Some of these systems were presented at conferences, events or competitions.
