Newswise — Robotic arms and 3D printing gantries can already be found on construction sites – albeit mostly as heavy, permanently installed systems on the ground. They quickly reach their limits on rough terrain or at great heights. A team led by researchers from the Laboratory of Sustainability Robotics at Empa and EPFL has therefore…
Newswise — UPTON, N.Y. — To build the experimental stations of the future, scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, are learning from some of the challenges that face them today. As light source technologies and capabilities continue…
BYLINE: Meghan McDonald Newswise — When Jonaaron Jones started his master’s degree at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, his mentor invited him to visit the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, or MDF, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “I saw a metal 3D-printed part for the first time,” said Jones. “I knew I was seeing the future —…
BYLINE: Macie Jepson Newswise — CLEVELAND, OH – University Hospitals announced that Rikesh Patel, DO, a leader in total joint replacement and complex reconstruction of hip and knee, has accepted the position of Director of Robotics Surgery for Total Joint Replacement, effective immediately. Dr. Patel is a fellow-trained orthopedic surgeon whose specialties include minimally invasive…
Newswise — CLEVELAND–Robots have long captured our collective imaginations. In today’s world robotics are an essential driver behind next-generation products, medical innovations, educational advances and more. Case Western Reserve University innovations are leading the way. Researchers across Case Western Reserve University—including at the cutting-edge Human Fusions Institute—develop projects with the potential to reshape how we conduct…
Newswise — روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا — عُيِّن الدكتور إريك مور مديرًا طبيًا دوليًا في مايو كلينك. وسيبدأ الدكتور مور ممارسة مهام منصبه الجديد في شهر أبريل. يُعد الدكتور مور مثالًا يُحتذى به في التفاني في رعاية المرضى كما أنه معروف دوليًا كرائد في مجاله، حيث يجلب إلى دوره الجديد أكثر من ثلاثة عقود من الخبرة…
Newswise — Tiny nematodes, commonly known as vinegar eelworms, can move objects with a force hundreds of times their own weight. Researchers are studying the physical rules that allow this collective motion, which could assist in developing applications in robotics and targeted medicine delivery. Cal State Fullerton student Ashley Robinson, a double major in physics and…
Newswise — If you build it, opportunity will come. In an effort to introduce computer science and engineering concepts to more students, Educational Talent Search, a TRIO program through the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, is building VEX Robotics into after-school programming at three Lincoln high schools. Students at Lincoln, North Star and Northeast high schools are…
Newswise — With the rapid advancement of wearable technologies, the mechanical properties of stretchable electronics have greatly improved, driving the development of robust electronic interfaces for sensing and stimulation. This progress has expanded the range of applications, particularly in health monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and robotic prosthetics. However, despite these advancements, designing stretchable conductors that simultaneously…
Newswise — Autonomous navigation has long been a significant hurdle in robotics and artificial intelligence, particularly in complex, uncharted environments. Traditional navigation systems often falter when it comes to balancing efficiency with resource consumption. Brain-inspired navigation models, which replicate the spatial awareness of mammals, have shown promise, but they are typically limited in scalability and…
