Therapists once thought the therapeutic window closed six months after a stroke, however, a major clinical study has found that patients show modest yet meaningful gains in limb movement and an improved outlook on life years after suffering a stroke. Researchers from Brown University, lead by Albert Lo who is assistant professor of neurology, used… »
We already wrote about various power suits, but this one differs in its purpose. A Tokyo Agriculture and Technology (TAT) University postgraduate student is seen demonstrating the new power-assist suit for elderly agriculture workers, developed by Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology professor Shigeki Toyama. He plans to set up a company in order to… »
Researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, have successfully demonstrated the first robotic underwater vehicle to be powered entirely by natural, renewable, ocean thermal energy. The Sounding Oceanographic Lagrangrian Observer Thermal RECharging (SOLO-TREC) autonomous underwater vehicle uses a thermal recharging engine powered by the natural temperature differences found at different… »
Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University, is famous for creating a robot replica of himself, the Geminoid HI-1, a teleoperated android that he controls remotely. The new gynoid robot named Geminoid F (“F” stands for female) is also designed to be remote controlled by an operator. It is a copy of an actual woman… »
Nobody likes mowing the lawn. It’s a boring, repetitive and time-consuming job. Before you start celebrating the existence of this robotic mower, you should know its main porpoise isn’t mowing your lawns (unless you own a mansion with a nice peace of land). Indianapolis-based Precise Path Robotics created the RG3 robotic greens mower – ideal… »
Ever since the CSI TV series hit the airwaves, everyone knows that forensic doctors use various techniques and high-tech tools in order to reconstruct how the crime or accident happened. We already wrote about interactive 3D virtual autopsy table which serves to show the images, but Virtobot is a forensic high-tech helpmate used at the… »
We already wrote about several projects related to robots inspired by fish as the MIT robot fish from or the fish robots contracted to search for pollutants in the waters. The robotic fish, special because it uses only a fraction of energy needed to swim through the water, is being developed by the Faculty of… »
One of the main subjects of our website is covering stories about robots made to aid us. In this article we’re going to write about the humanoid robot named Cody. Cody comes from Georgia Tech’s Healthcare Robotics Lab (the lab which also came up with another aiding robot we already wrote about named El-E). Aside… »
