The BSI-TOYOTA Collaboration Center have announced their success using a new signal processing technology for brain machine interface (BMI). They have developed a system which utilizes one of the fastest technologies in the world, controlling a wheelchair using brain waves in as little as 125 milliseconds (one millisecond, or ms, is equal to 1/1000 seconds).
A robotic vision system that mimics key visual functions of the human brain promises to let robots maneuver quickly and safely through cluttered environments, and to help guide the visually impaired.
Surface Naval Warfare Center plans to use ROVs to expand its anti-IED and explosive ordnance disposal capabilities.
Scientists are developing novel underwater laser networking and imaging to provide significant advantages over existing technologies to rapidly identify and communicate potential threats in murky coastal waters. When fully developed, the technology will be used onboard a group of small, co-operating underwater robots and will have extensive utility for future U.S. military operations including U.S. war fighters. Domestically, it will be used for Maritime security and environmental assessment to address some of the most critical areas in need of ocean research and technology development.
CoroWare has released a ruggedized R&D robot that is designed for operation in highly unstructured, outdoor locations.
The first seven contracts focus on research an development in communications, manipulation, perception and combat-specific tasks.
FANUC’s food-preparation automation arm gets notice at Tokyo food industry show.
Remote-operated slitherer designed to wriggle into hard-to-reach spaces to observe and, if necessary, explode.
An ROV designed for the military and civilian emergency services gets ears to hear and a voice to talk back without exposing the operator to felons, terrorists or other dangers.
Light, six-axis parallel-link unit designed to handle small parts quickly.
The one- and two-axis gyroscopes are designed to identify motion and communicate it to software on handheld devices.
Unison v4 is an ultra-tiny, Linux-compatible real-time operating system for home and industrial automation.
OceanWorks will incorporate Schilling’s units into a pair of systems for a customer equipping for with global, deep-see operations.
A project with the Penn State Advanced Research Laboratory has helped the Office of Naval Research extend the life of batteries driving Talon robots in hostile territory.
European researchers have developed a small robotic drone capable of helping save lives in emergency situations or preventing terrorist attacks in urban areas.
European researchers in robotics, psychology and cognitive sciences have developed a robot that can predict the intentions of its human partner. This ability to anticipate (or question) actions could make human-robot interactions more natural.
Nereus, a deep-sea robotic vehicle developed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, is the first vehicle to enable routine scientific investigation to the deepest ocean depths worldwide.
