Scientists develop robotic third thumb controlled by sensors on the big toes

Scientists have developed a robotic 3D-printed ‘third thumb’ that’s controlled using pressure sensors on the underside of the big toes.  The thumb, created by a researcher at University College London (UCL), is worn on the side of the hand opposite the actual thumb, near the little finger. In trials, researchers found the human brain can adapt to … Read more

Samsung unveils AI-powered robot vacuum at CES that uses sensors found in self-driving cars

Samsung’s new robotic vacuum uses the same LiDAR sensor technology as self-driving cars to detect obstacles and react accordingly. According to the company, the 3D sensors on the JetBot 90 AI+ are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can bump up against, like a table leg, and which to give a wide berth to, … Read more

Dart-shooting drones can fire sensors at trees to monitor for climate change

Drones that shoot sensor-containing darts into trees in hard-to-reach jungles and woodlands could help scientists monitor changes to the climate and warn of forest fires The drones will deploy sensors already used by scientists to hard to reach areas The sensors will monitor for changes in the environment and animal movements This can then alert … Read more
