Teaching robots to teach other robots

Researchers have developed a system which allows noncoders to teach robots a range of tasks simply by providing some information about how objects are typically manipulated and then showing the robot a single demo of the task.

Lab breakthrough in 3D printing of glass

Scientists and academic collaborators have demonstrated the synthesis of transparent glass through 3D printing, a development that could ultimately lead to altering the design and structure of lasers and other devices that incorporate optics.

The technology of airborne wind energy - Part III safe power

In a short series of three articles Michiel Kruijff covers the Frequently Asked Questions for all aspects of Ampyx Power's solution. This Part III is about the tether, ground systems and our certification approach.

A few self-driving cars can dramatically improve traffic flow

The presence of just a few autonomous vehicles can eliminate the stop-and-go driving of the human drivers in traffic, along with the accident risk and fuel inefficiency it causes, according to new research.

Low-cost touch sensing added to objects of almost any shape

Touch sensing is most common on small, flat surfaces such as smartphone or tablet screens. Researchers, however, turn surfaces of a wide variety of shapes and sizes into touchpads using tools as simple as a can of spray paint.

Multi-cell additive manufacturing platform for continuous production

Stratasys Ltd took a significant step into low-volume, continuous production using additive technology when it unveiled a new product under development - the Stratasys Continuous Build 3D Demonstrator.

Underwater robots help predict how and when ice shelves collapse

To outer space and the deep ocean, add "beneath the ice" to the list of rarely charted frontiers of science exploration.

Machine learning to develop new genetic medicines

Genetic mutations are the cause of countless diseases and disorders, from cancer to autism to cystic fibrosis. Now, a startup company is applying decades of research into machine learning and genomic science to develop genetic medicines — accelerating treatments that address the root causes of these conditions.

The technology of airborne wind energy - Part II the drone

Last month, Ampyx Power signed energy giant E-ON to help test their novel green energy technology.

3D bioprinting - from science fiction to reality?

After over 15 years of research and development in academia and industry, several main applications of 3D bioprinting technology are ready to be realised.

Billion unit production capacity for flexible integrated circuits

First FlexLogIC™ fab-in-a-box system being commissioned to enable mass market roll-out of intelligence for everyday items

When electric vehicles crash, what happens to the battery?

Safety, range and costs: these are the three big premises of electromobility. Safety definitely comes first. Lithium-based traction batteries are usually completely enclosed in the battery case and integrated in the vehicle to protect the battery from all conceivable stresses and external influences. This "armour" has an effect on construction, weight, size and overall design of the vehicle.

Germ zapping robots used in hospitals

Operating rooms are supposed to be sterile environments, but studies show that they remain contaminated with microscopic pathogens that can cause Surgical Site Infections even after they have been cleaned.

The technology of airborne wind energy - Part I: Launch & land

In short, AP-3 is a 250 kW system, using a 350 kg drone with a wingspan of 12 m. AP-3 is designed to be a demonstrator of safety and autonomy.

$30 million in funding to automate intelligent enterprise

UiPath builds intelligent software robots that help businesses globally automate repetitive processes by leveraging cutting-edge computer vision technology.

Novel gene editing approach to cancer shows promise

A novel gene therapy using CRISPR genome editing technology effectively targets cancer-causing "fusion genes" and improves survival in mouse models of aggressive liver and prostate cancers.

SolarStratos first test flight

SolarStratos is a commercial two-seater solar plane that aims to be the first manned solar plane penetrating the stratosphere.

The Graphene paradigm shift is coming

IDTechEx has invited a series of industrial players and leaders active in graphene commercialization to contribute their opinions about the state of the technology and markets. As part of article series, we will today hear from Standard Graphene who talks about a graphene paradigm shift.

3D printing offers new approach to making buildings

The list of materials that can be produced by 3D printing has grown to include not just plastics but also metal, glass, and even food. Now, MIT researchers are expanding the list further, with the design of a system that can 3D print the basic structure of an entire building.

Artificial biofilm increases energy production in microbial fuel cells

Microbial fuel cells exploit the metabolism of bacteria in order to generate electricity. A new type of biofilm could soon make this relatively young technology considerably more effective, more stable, and easier to use.
