Electronic Tongue Uses AI to Detect Differences in Liquids
Summary: Researchers have developed an AI-powered “electronic tongue” capable of distinguishing subtle differences in liquids, such as milk freshness, soda types, and coffee blends. By analyzing sensor data through a…
Electricity-free circuit helps free up space for robots to ‘think,’ say scientists
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity for the first time, which could free up more space in the robotic ‘brain’…

Neural Motion Planning approach helps robots navigate challenging obstacles in unfamiliar environments
Credit: Carnegie Mellon University Humans can grab a book from a shelf with little obvious thought. But it’s a complex process for the brain that involves planning and navigating around…
Team develops versatile knee exoskeletons for safer lifting
Emily Keller, a doctoral student in robotics at the Locomotor Control Systems Lab, University of Michigan, demonstrates the knee exoskeletons on the steps outside of the Ford Robotics Building at…
Robot leg powered by artificial muscles outperforms conventional designs
While conventional robotic legs are driven by an electromagnetic rotary motor (left), for their musculoskeletal system the researchers use electrohydraulic actuators – i.e. artificial muscles (right). Credit: Thomas Buchner /…
