Since its inception in 2019, Contactile, a Sydney-based robotics technology company, has emerged as a leading force in tactile sensing. Their sophisticated sensor systems teach humanoid robots how to “feel,” enabling unprecedented precision in manipulation, handling, and interaction across a variety of real-world applications. Bringing the Human Sense of Touch to Robotics Contactile’s state-of-the-art tactile sensors equip robots with measurements of: 3D force and torque Slip and friction Vibration Advancing these capabilities empowers robots with sensitivity akin to human fingertips, allowing them to grip and handle objects with dexterity—critical for environments too dynamic or unpredictable for traditional robotic systems. Cross-Industry…

The Connecticut Green Bank has partnered with GoodLeap, a leading finance and technology platform for sustainable home solutions, to roll out a statewide AI-powered Virtual Power Plant (VPP) initiative. The program will aggregate residential solar and energy storage systems through Connecticut’s Energy Storage Solutions program to lower costs for homeowners, improve grid stability, and advance the state’s clean energy goals. AI Meets Clean Energy At the core of this effort is GoodLeap’s proprietary GoodGrid software, the fastest-growing VPP network in the U.S. Integrated with utility Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS), the technology can coordinate thousands of home solar and…

As industries demand more accurate night monitoring, predictive maintenance, and safe nighttime driving, thermal imaging is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of intelligent perception systems. However, adoption has often been slowed by high costs, image quality limitations, and complex integration. Raytron Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in infrared thermal imaging, is addressing these challenges head-on with its next-generation thermal imaging cores, built for precision, efficiency, and scalability. Sharper Images, Extended Range, and Higher Sensitivity Leveraging breakthroughs such as the world’s first 6μm and 8μm uncooled infrared detectors and in-house wafer-level manufacturing, Raytron produces thermal cores with resolutions from 256×192 to…

With more than 55 million children and 6 million adults spending their days in K–12 school buildings across the United States, the American Lung Association (ALA) is calling on school administrators nationwide to make indoor air quality a priority—starting with testing for radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer in the country. Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, tasteless, and colorless radioactive gas that can accumulate inside buildings, including schools. It causes approximately 21,000 deaths annually in the U.S., and the only way to know if levels are elevated is to test. “Every child deserves a healthy place to…

What’s New Ozdamar and colleagues introduce a groundbreaking telemanipulation framework that enables a human operator to control multiple robotic arms with varying levels of shared autonomy. By combining EMG muscle signals with Xsens motion-capture data, the system dynamically adapts to the operator’s intentions, allowing flexible coordination among robotic arms. Key Features Reconfigurable Control Architecture: Operators can toggle between independent or coordinated control of any number of arms—whether acting solo, cooperatively, or collectively as parts of a virtual “robotic hand.” Tele-Impedance Modeling: The robots mimic both the position and impedance (stiffness and movement responsiveness) of the human operator’s arm, improving dexterity…

At the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing, UBTECH Robotics unveiled the Walker S2, a groundbreaking humanoid robot that autonomously swaps its own battery in just three minutes—no human intervention required. This innovation marks a major leap toward 24/7 industrial-grade automation. How It Works Equipped with a dual-battery system, the Walker S2 detects when its power is running low and navigates to a battery swap station. With a fluid torso rotation and arm-mounted tools, it removes the spent battery and installs a fresh one—all in under three minutes—without shutting down. Why It Matters Uninterrupted Operation: Enables continuous, round-the-clock human-like tasks…

At the Escuela Técnica Roberto Rocca in Argentina, students are gaining cutting-edge, hands-on experience with ABB robots—the very same models transforming manufacturing floors around the world. Laureano, a student at the school, said it best: “Working with ABB robots helped me grow in automation with confidence.” Industry-Standard Robotics Meets Technical Education ABB is actively bridging education and industry with its Robotics in Education program. Operating in more than 40 countries, ABB equips schools and universities with the tools and support necessary to teach robot programming and operations using professional-grade technology.ABB Group By deploying ABB robots on campus, the Roberto Rocca…
