Engineers develop self-healing muscle for robots

New AI Startup Giving Robots Virtual Heart Rate, Body Temperature, Sweating Response So They Can Better Emulate Human Emotions Like Fear and Anxiety

A teen tech entrepreneur is working to retrofit robots with simulated artificial bodily functions like a virtual heart rate, body temperature, and sweating response — a bong-rip idea to make them better emulate human emotional states like joy or anxiety. In an interview with TechCrunch, the 19-year-old founder of "emotionally intelligent robots" company Intempus, Teddy Warner, explained why he's imbuing AI with digital versions of the often-unco…

Engineers develop self-healing muscle for robots

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries.

Damage-sensing and self-healing artificial muscles heralded as huge step forward in robotics

University of Nebraska–Lincoln scientists have devised a systems-level approach for a soft robotics technology that can identify damage, pinpoint its location, and autonomously initiate self-repair.

Engineers Develop Self-healing Muscle For Robots - Data Intelligence

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries. Engineer Eric Markvicka, along with graduate students Ethan Krings and Patrick McManigal, recently presented a paper at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Atlanta, Georgia, that sets forth a systems-level approach fo…

Advances in the development of intelligent, self-healing technology

An engineering team from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is one step closer to realizing a breakthrough that sounds like science fiction: robots and wearable devices capable of healing themselves after suffering damage, just like human or plant skin. The project is led by professor Eric Markvicka, in partnership with graduate students Ethan Krings and Patrick McManigal. The trio presented the latest research results during the IEEE Internatio…

Scientists develop self-healing artificial muscles for smarter robots

Engineers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln have made a big leap toward building robots and wearable technology that can heal themselves—just like human skin. Inspired by nature, the team has developed a soft artificial muscle that can detect damage, figure out where it happened, and fix itself without anyone’s help. The team, led by Assistant […] The post Scientists develop self-healing artificial muscles for smarter robots appeared first o…
