In our published review paper in IEEE Sensors Journal, we summarize key sensor and computing imperatives that will power the next wave of swift yet safe robots, whether wheeled, industrial or humanoid ...

It may be possible for the same sensor to be used for multiple purposes across several areas of the robot; but if not, then the right sensor must be used in the right place for the right purpose.

Amir Hooshiar, 2018 Concordia Public Scholar and Director of the Surgical Robotics Centre in the Department of Surgery at McGill University, is collaborating with Tannaz Torkaman, Majid Roshanfar, and ...

A new class of sensor technology dubbed ADAR (acoustic ranging and detection) enhances autonomous mobile robot (AMR) safety while offering 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based ...

MMS Modular Molding Systems created a system using Stäubli robots to fully automate a tire pressure sensor assembly capable of producing a complete sensor every six seconds. The compact design of ...

The robots then use the sensors' data to calculate their own risk based on where they're located in the water. If a robot finds that it might be at risk, it takes on (or maintains) a stable position.

By anticipating the force of an oncoming wave, these sensors can help robots perform dangerous and time-consuming jobs in the middle of the ocean. Aerospace Cars ...
