Researchers created a tiny computer using DNA molecules and enzymes, performing a billion operations per second with high accuracy. The device can be programmed to perform simple tasks and may pave the way for future computers that can operate within the human body.
Researchers at the University of Southern California are developing modular robotic units called CONRO, which can autonomously seek and find each other to form a unified system. The units can perform various tasks, such as clearing debris or carrying medicine to people trapped in rubble.
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories create a hopping robot that can leap up to 20 feet in the air and travel five miles on a single tank of gas. The robot's unique combustion-driven piston allows it to make corrections after each jump, making it suitable for challenging environments.
The first Workshop on Interactive Robotics and Entertainment (WIRE 2000) will bring together experts from academia and industry to analyze the growing interaction between robotics and the toy industry. The conference will predict how this interaction will change both areas in the future.
The Carnegie Mellon University's Nomad robot successfully completed its mission to find meteorites in Antarctica, classifying seven specimens as meteorites. The robot achieved this feat autonomously and without prior knowledge of the samples, marking a significant milestone in robotics and scientific inquiry.
A robot named Nomad has been deployed to a site in Antarctica to search for meteorites and classify them using scientific instruments. The expedition marks the first time a robot will be used to discover extraterrestrial material that has fallen to Earth.
A Johns Hopkins University engineer has developed a microchip-based robotic vision system that enables toy cars to follow lines while avoiding obstacles. The technology could also be used in medical systems, manufacturing plants, and surveillance systems.
The Cellular Automata Machine (CAM) brain will be built under contract by Genobyte, a company in Boulder, Colorado. It will contain nearly 40 million artificial neurons, compared to the few hundred neurons used in most other specialists in artificial intelligence.
A team of researchers has developed an electronic neural switch that mimics biological neural activity, paving the way for the creation of autonomous robots capable of thinking, learning, and seeking out new environments. The device uses nanoelectronic processors to transmit signals similar to those from nerve cells, enabling it to pro...
Researchers have developed a mobile robot tracking system that can predict escape routes and optimize view angles to catch moving objects. The system uses laser rangefinders and 3D mapping to track targets, making it difficult for humans and robots to evade detection.
Nomad, an autonomous wheeled robot, is undertaking a 40-day, 125-mile journey through the Atacama Desert to explore terrain, navigate, and conduct remote science. The experiment aims to develop technologies for planetary exploration and provide a unique opportunity for public teleoperation.
A Carnegie Mellon robot, 'Nomad', will traverse 125 miles in the Atacama Desert, exploring navigation, geology and remote operations. The robot can be teleoperated by science center visitors, offering real-time data and visualization.
A robot has been taught to play air hockey, a step towards developing intelligent robots that can perform complex tasks. The robot's ability to sense its surroundings and react accordingly opens up new horizons for robotic applications.
