One application, quantum sensors, is already the basis of some of the most important systems…
GRANDVILLE, Mich. — Grandville schools have been planning their new robotics facility for the past eight years, with construction actually beginning three years ago. In August, they will open the doors to their new 60,000 square foot robotics competition center near the middle school. ‘Other schools need to do this’: Grandville’s 60K sq. ft. robotics…
In a groundbreaking development, a team of engineers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) has designed a robotic hand that can rotate objects using touch alone, without the need for visual input. This innovative approach was inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without necessarily needing to see them. A Touch-Sensitive Approach…
(Image by ThankYouFantasyPictures from Pixabay ) We are often told that automation, AI, robotics, and other Industry 4.0 technologies will take over boring, repetitive, low-value tasks, freeing up skilled experts to do what they are best at. Yet there have been countless examples in recent months of technology doing the exact opposite: taking over creative…
Kilroy Robotics has been a part of the FIRST robotics community for 24 years.
