The Cinderella of the engineers
When components are to be painted, sealed or glued, they need to be cleaned between each individual processing step. Only when they are free of grease and completely clean will the coating materials applied adhere properly to the components and form a lasting bond. In order to test the cleanness of component surfaces, they formerly had to be... view more... (2000-03-28)
EU award for robot that saves human drudgery
A new way to control industrial robots, developed by Lund University in collaboration with the company ABB in Sweden, has been awarded first prize by Euron, an official EU network in robotics. Using the award-winning technology, robots can react instantly and with great precision correct any defect in a piece of work in serial production, for... view more... (2005-04-13)
Case School of Engineering professor applies virtual reality simulation to train world's brain and heart surgeons
Virtual reality simulation tools are already revolutionizing the way dentists are taught at Case Western Reserve University. view more (2006-03-02)
Robotic assembly of fuel cells could hasten hydrogen economy
"The U.S. Department of Energy has suggested that the cost of manufacturing fuel cells is the single biggest obstacle on the road to the hydrogen economy," says Raymond Puffer, co-director of the FMC. view more (2005-11-09)
Experimental evolution in robots probes the emergence of biological communication
Using an ingenious approach involving virtual robots that possess evolvable genomes, researchers have identified key factors that may play important roles in determining the manner in which communication arises during the evolution of social organisms. view more (2007-02-23)
UK robot sub searches for signs of melting 60 km into an Antarctic ice shelf cavity
Autosub, a robot submarine built and developed by the UK's National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, has successfully completed a high-risk campaign of six missions travelling under an Antarctic glacier. view more (2009-03-18)
Study Shows Robots Could Prepare Lunar Landing Pad
Small robots the size of riding mowers could prepare a safe landing site for NASA's Moon outpost, according to a NASA-sponsored study prepared by Astrobotic Technology Inc. with technical assistance from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute. view more (2009-02-26)
Sensor biochips could aid in cancer diagnosis and treatment
It is very difficult to predict whether a cancer drug will help an individual patient: only around one third of drugs will work directly in a given patient. view more (2009-10-22)
National Science Week a Loughborough University
What's engineering got to do with me? Wednesday 15 March, 2pm Former Tomorrow's World presenter Kate Bellingham will dispel some of the myths surrounding engineering, using real-life examples and her personal experience as a female engineer and TV presenter. Passionate about the role that engineering has to play in our lives, Kate will bring a... view more... (2000-03-08)
UK Manufacturers Buy Largest Number of Robots Since Records Began in 1978
Latest research figures from the University of Warwick show that UK manufacturers installed a record breaking 1 941 robots in 2001– the largest number of new robots ever installed in the UK in any one year since records began in 1978. view more (2002-04-22)
1-finger exercise reveals unexpected limits to dexterity
Even seemingly simple movements seem to push the hand's neuromuscular control system to its limits, with implications for both human rehabilitation and robot hands. view more (2009-07-08)
From the surface of Mars to the skin on your body: UK science goes public
The 24 exhibits cover an extraordinary range of up-to-the-minute research. A model of the Beagle 2 robot lander - that will range over the Martian surface - is on show, as is a 3-D tour of an astronomical observatory in Hawaii. There is a novel look deep inside turbulent industrial processes; a chance to test your skills as a surgeon under the... view more... (1999-06-04)
Robot Vehicle Surveys Deep Sea Off Pacific Northwest
The first scientific mission with Sentry, a newly developed robot capable of diving as deep as 5,000 meters (3.1 miles) into the ocean, has been successfully completed by scientists and engineers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the University of Washington (UW). view more (2008-08-14)
Image processing for applications in artificial vision
For a robot to identify objects in a particular image, it is first necessary that it can "see" them. With this aim, in artificial vision, edge detectors are normally used, i.e. computer programmes that delimit the objects in an image and define the limits between them and the background, and between the different objects themselves. view more (2006-01-17)
New frontiers in science education
This year, 24 exhibits cover an unprecedented range of science. Students can see: a model of the robot Mars lander Beagle 2; a computer based hands-on device for training surgeons; an antimatter detector from a key physics experiment; designer magnetic materials; the impact of genetically modified (GM) crops on the environment; the internal... view more...

Projecting onto thin air
FogScreen is a futuristic innovation that creates a thin white screen of fog. The screen can be projected onto, touched, and even walked through - a sure-fire attention-getter for publicity or educational purposes. view more (2005-01-05)
New robot travels across the seafloor to monitor the impact of climate change on deep-sea ecosystems
Like the robotic rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which wheeled tirelessly across the dusty surface of Mars, a new robot spent most of July traveling across the muddy ocean bottom, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) off the California coast. view more (2009-09-10)
Swimming pool game inspires robot detection
Scientists have used a popular kids swimming pool game to guide their development of a system for controlling moving robots that can autonomously detect and capture other moving targets. view more (2009-03-19)
COMPOSITE PROCESS OPENS WINDOWS INTO SPACE
Window frames without joints and self-building space stations could be the outcome of a new way of processing composite materials. The technology, developed by Dr David Britnell and Dr Gordon Smith at Warwick University, means that fibre reinforced composites could be turned into shapes that are now very hard to manufacture. view more (1999-04-09)
OSGi Communication Platform now in Automation
OSGi solutions (Open Gateway Services Initiative) are known as intelligent gateways within the areas of telecommunication, home networking and the automotive industry. Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS now offers this standardized platform technology for control tasks in the field of automation technology. view more (2004-03-05)
