Charles Pao, CEVA For robot navigation applications, it’s important to have accurate data on position and heading, provided by multiple sensors. If your robot doesn’t know where it is, or which way it ...

Its high flexibility makes it cumbersome and difficult for force sensors to be properly installed. In a new paper published in IEEE Sensors Journal, this McGill-Concordia team outlines the development ...

A team of roboticists at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is preparing Atlas, a 6-foot-2-inch-tall, 330-pound humanoid robot that can climb stairs, open doors, and ...

Called the Floating Sensor Network project, the robots provide a network of sensors that "can be deployed rapidly to provide real-time, high-resolution data in hard-to-map waterways".

Open-source robot project Qbo has gained a new set of sensors, in the shape of a custom ASUS Xtion tiara that allows the 'bot to 3D map his environment, autonomously navigate and – most ...

Another step toward more lovable robots: a new type of sensor might enable us to poke a robot as if it had the squishy belly button of the Pillsbury Dough boy. Written by Christie Nicholson ...

It’s been a couple of years and a couple of million dollars. Finally, researchers and graduate students who have spent years developing intelligent water sensors released them into the ...

Researchers hope that their sensors will be able to help track environmental spills and the flow of water, which could also help improve salmon spawning. “This is the way of the future,” said ...
