The robot was jointly developed by SK Telecom and industrial automation specialist Omron Electronics in South Korea. It is intended to help enforce remaining public health measures to help prevent the transmission of Covid-19, such as temperature checks & enhanced hygiene. The upright white robot is equipped with cameras and an LED screen to show thermal images and transmits data in a real-time over SK Telecom’s 5G network. In a demonstration at the headquarters of SK Telecom, the robot greeted visitors, dispensed hand sanitiser and disinfected its surroundings using disinfectant…

Jets with enhanced protection to join PM’s fleet by September!!
Two specially modified Boeing-777 Aircraft, capable of countering missile threats, will join Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Air India One fleet by September-end, two people are familiar with the development said on Wednesday. The first head-of-state Boeing-777 Aircraft will arrive in India from the United States by the end of August followed by the second one a month later, they said on condition of anonymity. The planes will come equipped with self-protection suites (SPS) consisting of aircraft infrared counter measures, advanced integrated defensive electronic warfare suite and the counter-measures dispensing system to protect…
Read MoreSalto Jumping Robot Masters Pinpoint Landings!!
One of the things that we love about the UC Berkeley’s Salto jumping robot is just how much better it gets, year after year. And these changes aren’t just incremental—the little robot’s capabilities seem to improve by leaps and bounds, as it were. The latest upgrade, presented at Virtual ICRA 2020 this week, it is particularly impressive, since Salto has learned how to very precisely stop jumping exactly where you want it to. As far as we know, the best way of getting Salto to stop jumping without destroying itself has been for someone with exceptional…

Stereotaxis , is a developer of Robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, says it has reached a significant milestone of over 400 scientific publications now on documenting the clinical benefits of Stereotaxis robotic technology. David Fischel, chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis, says: “The clinical benefits of Robotic Magnetic Navigation have been extensively validated in high-quality clinical literature and in the real-world treatment of over one-hundred-thousand arrhythmia patients”. “We are proud to the depth and breadth of clinical data demonstrating the benefits of robotics to patients and healthcare to…
Read MoreA good egg: Robot chef trained to make omelettes!!
A team of engineers have trained a Chef robot to prepare an omelette, all the way from cracking the eggs to plating the finished dish, and refined the ‘chef’s’ culinary skills to produce a reliable dish that actually tastes good. The researchers, from the “University of Cambridge” in collaboration with the domestic appliance company Beko, used “Machine learning” to train the robot to account for highly subjective matters of taste. The results are reported in the journal “IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters”, and will be available online as part of the…

Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) on Monday congratulated NASA and spaceX for their manned mission and termed as it “historic”. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft with two NASA astronauts on Sunday successfully docked with the International Space Station after the historic launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking an dawn of a new age in commercial space travel. Saturday’s liftoff also assumes significance that marks the launch of humans into orbit from US soil for the first time. The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley had lifted off at 3:22 pm EDT Saturday (12:52am IST Sunday)…
Read MoreWEARABLE TECHNOLOGY HAS REACHED THE POSITION OF SUPERIORITY
The term wearable technology consists of two words. The first word is wearable and the second word is technology. The word wearable simply implies something that can be worn on the body. Technology has various definitions depending on the way people take it. It can mean some engineering work, when we explain in the terms of tools and mechanism. Talking in sense of marketing and industry, it can be a product or service, which can ease or simplify human life. In some other context, it can also mean something, which…
Read MoreINDUSTRIAL ROBOT: HANDLES HIGH-RISK JOB WITH EASE
In general dangerous and difficult jobs are done by industrial robots. They are designed to perform such repetitive and dangerous work, which may risk human life when performed by a human being. The repetitive job when performed by a human being can vary in quality from time-to-time but the same kind of job, when performed by a machine, will give the accurate quality of performance. In such robots, the performance of robotic action is best and gives the result which is perfect in all respect. To make the result perfect…
