Seit jeher werden Roboter eingesetzt, um gefährliche oder für uns nicht bewältigbare Aufgaben zu erledigen. Sie entschärfen Bomben, transportieren Gefahrenstoffe und arbeiten sich in für uns nicht erreichbare Gebiete vor. Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat gezeigt, dass auch Serviceroboter, die eigentlich nicht für Sonderfälle…

Animal-robot interaction studies have been of increasing interest in research, but most of these studies have involved robots interacting with insects, birds, and frogs in laboratory settings. To date, only two studies used non-human primates and no behavioral study has tested the social integration of a robot in a…

A deeper understanding of the human side of human-robot interaction determined by studying the human brain when we perceive robots should help solve the biggest challenges of successful social encounters with robots. However, current social neuroscience studies mainly focus on explicit perception of robots, and…

Process chemistry creates scalable routes for new lead molecules and is a crucial but laborious stage in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development cycles. We have built an automated process chemistry platform that tackles late-stage process development. The modular workflow integrates both industry-standard tools and…

The emergence of affordable and reliable 3D printers has enabled laboratories to optimize setups, print custom parts, accelerate research, and rapidly prototype. A new movement has emerged in the past decade, where 3D printers are repurposed as laboratory-specific robots. There are three distinct approaches in the…

— A critical and re-configured HRI might look to the arts, where another history of robots has been unfolding since the Czech artist Karel Capek's critical robotic labor parable of 1921, in which the word robot was coined in its modern usage. This paper explores several vectors by which artist-created robots, both…

In this paper,we consider the feasibility of mimicking the sprawling gait of a live varanid (Varanus salvator) using a necrobot (named: Pak Biawak), a robot constructed using the skeletal parts of a deceased varanid of the same species. Pak Biawak is manufactured using simple joints and components, and limb motion is…

The use of robots to help teachers to engage students in STEM subjects has been increasing in recent years, and much progress has been made in K12 schools to incorporate robots in the pedagogy. Recent studies indicate that robots can play a significant role to engage students in neuroscience subjects, but little is…

Current evidence indicates that individual joint training with robotic devices can be as effective as multi-joint training for the arm. This makes a case for developing simpler and more compact robots for training individual joints of the arm. Such robots have the highest potential for clinical translation. To this…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Achieving a comprehensive understanding of animal intelligence demands an integrative approach that acknowledges the interplay between an organism’s brain, body, and environment. Insects like ants, despite their limited computational resources, demonstrate remarkable abilities in navigation. Existing computational…

Self-driving laboratories promise to democratize automated chemical laboratories. Accurate liquid handling is an essential operation in the context of chemical labs, and consequently a self-driving laboratory will require a robotic liquid handling and transfer. Although many pipettes are available for human scientists…
