Forests cover 30% of the Earth's landmass, but that number is on the decline. Despite forests' crucial role in conserving wildlife and processing carbon dioxide, many are threatened by deforestation and wildfires. Complicating these threats is the lack of quantitative information that foresters and environmental researchers need for making important decisions to preserve forests.

Using a brain-inspired approach, scientists have developed a way for robots to have the artificial intelligence to recognise pain and to self-repair when damaged.

Imagine a situation where, given a request, a lab automatically chooses what experiments to do, robotically carries this out, tracks the reaction with integrated sensors, acquires and analyzes the results, and then decides what experiment to do next. This seems like science-fiction, but certain truths may be closer than you think.

Firm's Second Fund Oversubscribed, Hits Hard Cap

Air travel in cities is being strongly researched with about 200 companies developing vertical takeoff and landing VTOL aircraft. Almost all will fail because this is a very difficult, long term task in the face of inadequate batteries, tightening regulations and other impediments.

Using a robotic submarine CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, has provided the first ever global estimate for microplastics on the seafloor, with results suggesting there are 14 million tonnes in the deep ocean.

Founded: 2012. Completed the purchase of the bankruptcy estate after Saab Automobile on August 31, 2012.

Totally new forms of transportRobot shuttles are specifically designed for use in smart cities. Symmetrical so no U turns. Large doors and rapid reconfiguration...

It is entirely possible that a smart city could make more food than it needs and do it without emissions. Even if the city then imports food, the capability for independence gives it security and an income from export of food. This is the dream.

Researchers have developed a robotic fabric, a breakthrough that could lead to such innovations as adaptive clothing, self-deploying shelters, or lightweight shape-changing machinery.

Austria-based Tyromotion has developed AMADEO, an "assist-as-needed" robotic therapy system for patients with motor impairments affecting the upper extremities.

Exoskeletons for neurological disorders, physical therapy and rehabilitation are wearable robotic devices placed on the user's body to augment, reinforce, or restore motor and/or cognitive function.
