Science and technology, explained simply
Agility Robotics opens a new factory called RoboFab in Oregon, USA. He will specialize in more than 10 thousand bipedal robots per year. The company announced this on its website. The 6,500-square-meter plant will employ about 500 workers. The company’s famous bipedal robot, Digits, will also be manufactured at the new plant. It will be […]
A robot is an automatically controlled machine that can perform complex or hazardous tasks involving hard physical labor. Currently, various companies are developing humanoid robots to replace humans in enterprises. Apptronik has presented Apollo, its version of a humanoid robot that it has been working on for 7 years. Apptronik has previously made more than […]
Engineers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a humanoid robot that can fly an airplane without the need to modify the cockpit. The Pibot robot can move its arms and fingers to operate the flight instruments on the airplane. External cameras allow Pibot to monitor the condition of the […]
The Japanese company TSUBAME has taken the future of robotics to a new level by creating a giant robot called Arcax. It’s not just a giant machine, it’s a real technological work of art that can be operated by humans. The Arcax fascinates with its futuristic look, combining elements of a forklift with manipulators and […]
Google’s DeepMind team presented a new artificial intelligence algorithm RT-2, which allows robots to effectively transfer concepts obtained from relatively small data sets to different scenarios. According to the developers, RT-2 demonstrates improved generalization abilities, as well as semantic and visual understanding beyond the data obtained by the robot. This includes interpreting new commands and […]
The German Aerospace Center tested unique robots for lunar exploration. The tests were conducted in Italy on Mount Etna. To be more precise, the Germans tested four robots at once: the Scout all-terrain vehicle, the Interact lunar rover and two light rovers (LRU 1 and LRU2). The Etna volcano was chosen as the site of […]
The American company QinetiQ-NA will hand over to Ukraine another batch of TALON sapper robots, which will help in demining territories QinetiQ-NA is a ‘daughter’ of the British defense company QinetiQ.
