Sandia National Laboratories is tackling one of the biggest barriers to the use of robots in emergency response: energy efficiency.

What do pacemakers, prosthetic limbs, Iron Man and flu vaccines all have in common?

The rapidly melting ice sheets on the coast of West Antarctica are a potential major contributor to rising ocean levels worldwide. Although warm water near the coast is thought to be the main factor causing the ice to melt, the process by which this water ends up near the cold continent is not well understood.

Cyborg cockroaches may soon help with disaster recovery

Sometimes it takes a village to teach a robot.

TUM technology endows brain-controlled exoskeleton with sense of touch

New algorithms and electronic components could enable printable robots that self-assemble when heated.

A robot developed by EPFL researchers is capable of reacting on the spot and grasping objects with complex shapes and trajectories in less than five hundredths of a second.

Modern military defense planning is already heavily focused on how to gain strategic advantage through brainpower. Another significant step in that direction could result from an Arizona State University engineer’s new research on using cognitive abilities to control defense operations in more direct ways than ever.
