How modern robots are developed: ‘Human cyborgs will become commonplace’

February 5, 2021 by Editor Leave a Comment

Today, neuroscience and robotics are developing hand in hand. Mikhail Lebedev, academic supervisor at HSE University’s Centre for Bioelectric Interfaces, spoke about how studying the brain inspires the development of robots.

Robots are interesting to neuroscience and neuroscience is interesting to robots – this is what the article “Neuroengineering challenges of fusing robotics and neuroscience” was about in the journal Science Robotics.

Such collaborative development contributes to progress in both fields, bringing us closer to developing more advanced android robots and a deeper understanding of the structure of the human brain. And, to some extent, to combining biological organisms with machines, to create cybernetic organisms (cyborgs).

Factories can save up to 90 per cent in valve monitoring costs with wireless IoT sensors

October 29, 2019 by Editor

Factories and plants in industries – such as chemical processing, pulp and paper, water and waste-water treatment, have seen the benefits of remote valve monitoring.

Traditional retrofitted monitoring solutions, however, are costly and slow to deploy for factories with thousands of manual valves of different types.

There is a more cost-effective alternative – factories have evidenced a 90 percent reduction in retrofitting investment, by using industry-grade wireless sensors and Industrial IoT technologies.

Want to know more about robotic welding? Here’s a brief introduction

October 29, 2019 by Editor

Robot welding involves robots (mechanized programmable tools) that completely automate this process. Mechanized tools perform welding and handle the parts.

It is a new application of robotics, and companies are frequently converting to it.

Remember, robots can successfully do any type of welding; therefore, you can expect improved quality, higher productivity, and cost-effective welding operations. [Read more…] about Want to know more about robotic welding? Here’s a brief introduction
