Question of the Week: Robotics, Automation & Control
Will Robotic Exoskeletons Help the Elderly?
A team from the University of Waterloo is creating robotic exoskeleton legs that use A.I. to make their own steps and control decisions. "Learning" from a collection of sample-strolls around an environment, the system adjusts its movements based on the surroundings it senses.
Question of the Week: Unmanned Systems
Will Underwater Exploration Go Battery-Free?
A Tech Brief featured in our April issue highlighted a battery-free pinpointing system from MIT called Underwater Backscatter Localization. Rather than emitting its own acoustic signals, the “UBL” reflects modulated signals from its environment. The reflections provide researchers with positioning...
