Today’s robots are already capable of some incredible feats, whether that be herding sheep in New Zealand or delivering medical supplies in Rwanda. One way they could reach even greater heights is if ...
In the search for a better battery, researchers have explored options ranging from using molten salt, trees and plants, and even crabs and shrimp. One of the biggest hurdles in the way of fully ...
A team of scientists have penned a new article in Nature Reviews Materials outlining the challenges of creating an edible robot, and it appears we aren't necessarily too far away at all. Technology ...
The demand for solid-state batteries driven by humanoid robots is expected to hit 74 GWh by 2035, which is over 1,000 times ...
Humanoid robots are set to soak up a whopping 75 GWh of solid-state battery capacity between now and 2035 – nearly 1500x growth!
At some point in the not-too-distant future, a doctor might instruct you to swallow a robot you can eat to deliver some sort of therapy with incredible precision or perform some kind of test. You'll ...
A team of scientists at the University of Michigan have created “biomorphic batteries” that allow robots to store energy like humans — in fat reserves spread across their bodies. The idea is to ...
While there are many useful questions to ask when encountering a new robot, “can I eat it” is generally not one of them. I say ‘generally,’ because edible robots are actually a thing—and not just ...
“The biggest advantage of this friend is that it can work ‘007 (0 o’clock to 0 o’clock, seven days a week),’” said Lao, a publicity official at UBTECH, a humanoid (human-shaped) robot company in ...
Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...
Chinese humanoid robotics developer UBTech Robotics said on Sunday that it has reached a ...
Ubtech Robotics' new Walker S2 humanoid robot changes its own battery in a demo video designed to showcase how autonomous battery swapping could let robots work 24/7 without interruption. Jesse Orrall ...
