A Touch of Nature: Smart Materials for Creating Elephant-Like Bionic Robot Arms

Artificial muscles and nerves made from the shape memory alloy nickel-titanium are making robot arms as supple and agile as their animal counterparts. But these artificial limbs also weigh less, will work tirelessly and can be precisely controlled. The bionic robot arms that are being developed by Professor Stefan Seelecke’s research team at Saarland University Read more about A Touch of Nature: Smart Materials for Creating Elephant-Like Bionic Robot Arms[…]

Unmanned Aerial Sensor Placement for Cluttered Environments

A team of researchers from Empa and Imperial College London developed drones that can attach sensors to trees to monitor environmental and ecological changes in forests. Sensors for forest monitoring are already used to track changes in temperature, humidity and light, as well as the movements of animals and insects through their habitats. They also Read more about Unmanned Aerial Sensor Placement for Cluttered Environments[…]
