Researcher Create More Lifelike Soft Robots That Can Mimic Biological Muscle


https://www.electronics-lab.com/71405-2/

A group of researchers from the University of Colorado in Boulder (US) is working on the next generation of robots. Instead of the metallic droids concept, these robots are made from soft materials that are more similar to biological systems. Such soft robots hold a huge potential for future applications. They can adjust to dynamic environments and also suitable for close […]

Researchers Of RMIT University Develops Swalloable Gas Sensors That Can Improve Your Diet


https://www.electronics-lab.com/71382-2/

Researchers led by Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have developed the first intestinal gas-diagnosing pill to be tested in human. During the study, which was published on January 8 in Nature Electronics, the swallowable gas sensors were tested in seven healthy participants who ate low and high-fiber diets. This ‘smart’ capsule is capable of measuring levels of Oxygen, […]

milliDelta Robot- High speed and Precision in a Compact Design


https://www.electronics-lab.com/millidelta-robot-high-speed-precision-compact-design/

Delta robots are machines with three arms designed to move at high speeds and perform precise tasks. The three arms are connected to a universal join at the base, and the device uses parallelograms that restrict the movement avoiding rotation. As a result, they can move in x, y, and z plane and have high […]
