The robotics company Boston Dynamics has given its humanoid robot Atlas a three-fingered gripper that covers a large part of the functional range of a five-fingered robotic hand. This is possible ...

Changes to the climate that result in more extreme weather events, such as drought and hail, along with increased temperatures across the globe, all contribute to the challenges farmers now face in ...

A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into multiple stable 3D shapes—including a lantern, a spinning top, and more—by ...

Abstract: Soft robotic grippers possess high structural compliance and adaptability, allowing them to grasp objects with unknown and irregular shapes and sizes. To enable more dexterous manipulation, ...

Abstract: Robotic automation can improve efficiency in switchgear manufacturing, but fully automating the wiring phase remains challenging. A key limitation is the unstructured organization of cables ...

This project provides a reinforcement learning (RL) environment for training a UR10e robotic arm equipped with a Robotiq 2F-140 gripper to perform a cube-lifting task using NVIDIA Isaac Lab. The ...

Aug. 22, 2025 — A research team has created a quantum logic gate that uses fewer qubits by encoding them with the powerful GKP error-correction code. By entangling quantum vibrations inside a single ...
