Learn about the types, design considerations, and challenges of sensors and actuators for underwater robots, and their integration with the robot's hardware and software.
Nearly a dozen miles off the California coast on a foggy October morning, a crane lifts a boxy yellow robot off the deck of the research vessel Rachel Carson and lowers it into Monterey Bay’s choppy ...
The autonomous underwater exploration robots envisioned by SWIM are extremely small. Their wedge-shaped bodies are about 12 centimeters long. A device called a “cryobot” will transport the ...
Researchers from the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, or HKUST, this week said that they successfully developed a small, multifunctional biomedical robot.
Robots equipped with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and delicate mechanisms could step in to fill this gap. Now, MIT researchers have developed small robots that can fly up to 100 ...
This paper proposes a novel amphibious robot with a wheel-and-leg hybrid design, which combines the advantages of wheeled and legged robots and allows for flexible operation on land and underwater.
“Perhaps most enchantingly, underwater, his wings came to life, flapping to propel him forward and steering like rudders as he soared.” Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekda ...
