Hyundai and Kia to develops mobile robots for space exploration

August 1, 2022 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

South Korean automotive giants Hyundai and Kia have agreed a partnership to develop robotic technology for space exploration.

The two companies say they “are now expanding their vision beyond the bounds of Earth and into space” are specifically concentrating on robotics and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).

Hyundai and Kia recently signed joint research agreements with six Korean research institutes and formed a consultative body to develop mobility solutions to explore the surface of the moon. This follows Korea’s successful launch of a domestically produced rocket in June. [Read more…] about Hyundai and Kia to develops mobile robots for space exploration

Columbia University engineers build robot that ‘learns to imagine itself’

July 15, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Columbia Engineers build a robot that learns to understand itself, rather than the world around it

As every athletic or fashion-conscious person knows, our body image is not always accurate or realistic, but it’s an important piece of information that determines how we function in the world. 

When you get dressed or play ball, your brain is constantly planning ahead so that you can move your body without bumping, tripping, or falling over.

We humans acquire our body-model as infants, and robots are following suit. A Columbia Engineering team has created a robot that – for the first time – is able to learn a model of its entire body from scratch, without any human assistance. (See video below.)

EAVX unveils autonomous ‘walk-in van’ prototype

May 24, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

EAVX, a subsidiary of JB Poindexter & Co (JBPCO), and REE Automotive, a provider of electric vehicle platforms and automotive technologies, have unveiled the companies’ new fully electric “walk-in van” prototype will begin customer evaluation this summer.

The class 5 vehicle debuts the EAVX body design powered by REE’s modular P7 platform, making it the first fully drive-by-wire walk-in van on the market.

Evaluations of the new electric walk-in van will take place over several weeks in the Detroit metropolitan area. [Read more…] about EAVX unveils autonomous ‘walk-in van’ prototype

The Most Typical Flaws in Used Cars

April 5, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Used cars are a viable purchase option when you have a limited budget. You can get a lot of value if you research diligently and inspect the vehicle thoroughly before buying it. Combine this with used car warranties and you won’t need to worry about excessive repair costs.

You’re prone to getting a car with failing parts without doing your research. Knowing the usual issues in used vehicles will enable you to check for potential problems so you can avoid a bad purchase. Here are the most common flaws in used cars.

Robotic Desk in Your Home

March 23, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Modern living conditions have turned tables into a kind of high-tech device, literally stuffed with electronics, and has several useful functions. Thanks to modern technologies, such tables provide maximum convenience while working at it.

But not only built-in gadgets are important here, pay attention that your new piece of furniture has an adjustable desk base. If you purchase just such a table, then you will close the issue for a long time, if not forever, of course. [Read more…] about Robotic Desk in Your Home

Using IDS cameras in fully automated wood parts inspection process

December 21, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

You always need and see them everywhere: in metalworking, on the construction site, in almost every toolbox… the good old hand brush.

Whether classic all-purpose brushes or brushes for special applications, the German-based company Lessmann GmbH has virtually all of them in its range.

The shape is varied, from straight to ergonomic. But they all have one thing in common: The wooden bodies are made exclusively from untreated red beech. Depending on the model, they also have two hanging holes at the end of the handle.

Production is fully automatic and highly rational. In order to ensure its own claim to the excellent quality of the hand brush woods, Lessmann has been relying on classic image processing for many years. [Read more…] about Using IDS cameras in fully automated wood parts inspection process

A system for designing and training intelligent soft robots

December 6, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

‘Evolution Gym’ is a large-scale benchmark for co-optimizing the design and control of soft robots that takes inspiration from nature and evolutionary processes

Let’s say you wanted to build the world’s best stair-climbing robot. You’d need to optimize for both the brain and the body, perhaps by giving the bot some high-tech legs and feet, coupled with a powerful algorithm to help enable the climb.

Although design of the physical body and its brain, the “control”, are key ingredients to letting the robot move, existing benchmark environments favor only the latter. Co-optimizing for both elements is hard – it takes a lot of time to train various robot simulations to do different things, even without the design element.

Scientists from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), aimed to fill the gap by designing “Evolution Gym”, a large-scale testing system for co-optimizing the design and control of soft robots, taking inspiration from nature and evolutionary processes.

Roam Robotics launches ‘smart knee’, a robotic partial exoskeleton

May 7, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Roam Robotics, an artificial intelligence and wearable robotics company, has launched its Ascend product, a “first-of-its-kind smart knee orthosis that helps wearers reduce knee pain and regain mobility”, according to the company.

Ascend’s technology is actively adapting, meaning it senses the body’s movement, automatically adjusts to the wearer’s needs, and provides precise support at the right moment for target muscle groups.

It is a registered Class I device with the FDA and will be available for purchase directly and through private and Medicare insurance, radically expanding public accessibility to wearable robotic devices. [Read more…] about Roam Robotics launches ‘smart knee’, a robotic partial exoskeleton
