We've told you recently about robots that emulate the locomotion of snakes, slugs, and salamanders. But biomimetics isn't the only approach to robotic movement that engineers and designers are working ...

Then, in April, a separate Chinese team used a convolutional neural network (another form of AI) to help robots visually recognize the quality of fabric seams, an essential step for robotic sewing.

"Clothing is the last trillion-dollar industry that hasn’t been automated," said Eugen Solowjow, who heads a project at a Siemens lab in San Francisco that has worked on automating apparel ...

Robots aren’t just for big factories anymore. Today’s robotic solutions are smarter, more affordable, and easier to deploy — especially for small and midsized shops. Whether it’s collaborative ...
