A project at the University of Maryland (UMD) has taken inspiration from the natural world for a camera that could improve robot vision. Bioinspired vision systems have already taken many forms, ...

Robotic systems depend on advanced machine vision to perceive, navigate, and interact with their environment. As both the number and resolution of cameras grow, the demand for high-speed, low-latency ...

To reliably complete various manual tasks, robots should be able to handle a variety of objects, ranging from items found in ...

In a bid to restore privacy, researchers have created a new approach to designing cameras that process and scramble visual information before it is digitized so that it becomes obscured to the point ...

One of the first real-world applications of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies that provided tangible benefits to manufacturers of all sizes involved optimizing equipment maintenance via the ...

MIT researchers have developed a robot that can detect and grab objects that are hidden behind walls or pieces of clutter. The system, called RF-Grasp, uses radio waves to locate items beyond the line ...

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of these environments lack natural or artificial light, making it difficult for ...

Visitors to Omron Automation’s exhibit at PACK EXPO Connects can’t help but notice the company’ vision and robotics. This is particularly noticeable in two of Omron’s demos—one featuring the ...

Unlike most existing robots, which rely heavily on internal maps to get around, this robot uses vision and reinforcement learning. When Ananye Agarwal took his dog out for a walk up and down the steps ...
