Ethereum 2.0 Could End Bitcoin’s Dominance

May 5, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

We see a fierce debate going on different topics surrounding crypto. In recent years, we have seen good growth of Bitcoin globally, and it is moving faster in the market. Technology has become an uncommon thing in the market, and it continues to move ahead in life at a more excellent pace in the market.

In technology circles, it is common to see discussions going on different topics. Ever since crypto came into the picture and created a good buzz around, we see a clear consensus to see Bitcoin coming along with a market cap that charts in the earliest days in the market.

Since the beginning of the crypto waves, we have seen a clear consensus option for Bitcoin and many more things about the market cap. Also, several experts have been putting things on hold, and we know the grandfather of cryptos and Blockchain are now working with it. [Read more…] about Ethereum 2.0 Could End Bitcoin’s Dominance

ETH scientists create one-wheel robot that balances with only a single reaction wheel

April 9, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Robotics specialists from a group led by ETH professor Raffaello D’Andrea have created a new, cube-​shaped robot that can balance on its pivot and compensate for external disturbances.

What makes the One-​Wheel Cubli unique? Unlike its predecessors, it only requires a single reaction wheel.

It was almost ten years ago that researchers led by ETH robotics professor Raffaello D’Andrea made a splash with a robotic cube that was capable of balancing on its pivot. [Read more…] about ETH scientists create one-wheel robot that balances with only a single reaction wheel

How robots learn to hike: ETH researchers look to improve four-legged ANYmal’s mobility

January 24, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

By Christoph Elhardt

ETH Zurich researchers led by Marco Hutter have developed a new control approach that enables a legged robot, called ANYmal, to move quickly and robustly over difficult terrain.

Thanks to machine learning, the robot can combine its visual perception of the environment with its sense of touch for the first time.

Steep sections on slippery ground, high steps, scree and forest trails full of roots: the path up the 1,098-​metre-high Mount Etzel at the southern end of Lake Zurich is peppered with numerous obstacles.

Swiss scientist developing robot that ‘grips without touching’

January 24, 2020 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

A scientist at the Swiss university ETH Zurich is developing a robot that “grips without touching”.

The technology is based on sound waves, or “ultrasound waves”, to be more precise.

ETH pioneer fellow Marcel Schuck is responsible for the invention, and has a small version of the robot on his desk. [Read more…] about Swiss scientist developing robot that ‘grips without touching’
