  • Drozid: the tune-playing, gun-toting, unmanned autonomous mini-fridge Drozid: the tune-playing, gun-toting, unmanned autonomous mini-fridge

    Drozid is a mini-fridge mounted on what looks like the chassis of an electric wheelchair. On top of the cooler, there's a boombox, laser scope-equipped BB gun, and a robotic arm, which can hand you a cold one and your change. It also appears to have some obstacle avoidance capabilities. It ...

  • Robot Knows How To Sort and Recycle Plastic Robot Knows How To Sort and Recycle Plastic

    The robot, created by Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Corp and Osaka University researchers, identifies different plastic materials among rubbish and sorts them into piles. The new robot aims to boost plastic recycling levels by identifying six different types of plastics that can be recycled an...

  • Nano-Robotic Arm Places Atoms and Molecules with 100% Accuracy and Precision Nano-Robotic Arm Places Atoms and Molecules with 100% Accuracy and Precision

    Manufactured products are basically made of atoms, and structures of these products depend on how the atoms are arranged. For example, if one rearranges atoms in coal, it will form into diamond. This concept is called nanotechnology. It uses positioning and assembly of atoms in order to create m...

  • Robotic Arm (DORA) Opens Doors for the Wheelchair Bound Robotic Arm (DORA) Opens Doors for the Wheelchair Bound

    After robotic arms and legs, comes another innovation that would surely make the lives of the physically-disabled a lot more easier. A robotic hand is made especially to open doors. Erin Rapacki, a former UMASS Lowell researcher developed a robot hand that enables the wheelchair-bound to open up ...

  • Robotic Arm Performs Surgery on a Beating Heart Robotic Arm Performs Surgery on a Beating Heart

    Heart surgery will never be the same again! Thanks to a team of French researchers who have developed a computer model of a beating heart that guides the robotic arm to perform a heart surgery with very little invasions. Researchers at France's Montpellier Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics, and...

  • Robotic Device Aid in Therapy for Cerebral Palsy Robotic Device Aid in Therapy for Cerebral Palsy

    For the last several years, researchers have been trying to look for ways in order to help patients suffering from various brain injuries. Engineers at MIT have been testing a device which helped stroke patients to mobilize their arms and legs. Now, the technology has been upgraded to support th...
