ROBOTICS

Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) designed a “material-like” collective of programmable micro-robots, which behave both like a fluid and a solid structure. This technology could lead to the development of a new sub-field of robotics. The UCSB scientists working on simple robots that could work together, like a colony of ants or any other collective groups. The recent study on the micro-robots describes that these units…

GenRobotics Innovations has developed Bandicoot, which is a robotic scavenger specially designed to clean manholes and sewers safely and efficiently. More than this it also provides robotic solutions for healthcare. In 2016, a tragic incident in Kozhikode, Kerala claimed the lives of three innocent men while they were cleaning a sewer. This motivated a group of young engineers to use technology to address one of India’s most inhumane practices, manual…
