But a      third country is set to get in on the action too - China has      debuted a prototype of a quadripedal, single-seat fighting      robot called the Monkey King, and entered a formal challenge.    <\/p>\n<p>      David      Szondy April 26, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      Tecnalia has come up with a 3D-printing robot that pays      attention to what it's doing. Called Cogiro, it is billed as      the first cable-driven robot that can print large structural      parts or even small buildings on site while monitoring if the      work is drying properly.    <\/p>\n<p>      Ben      Coxworth April 26, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      Programming most robots to grasp and retrieve an object can      be a rather complex process. That's why scientists at the      Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new system      that simply requires users to click twice with a computer      mouse.    <\/p>\n<p>      David      Szondy April 20, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      Lockheed Martin has created a simplified version of its      Fortis industrial exoskeleton by turning its key      weight-bearing component into a separate product called the      Fortis Tool Arm. It's designed to allow workers to use heavy      tools for extended periods without fatigue.    <\/p>\n<p>      David      Szondy April 19, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      Doctoral candidate Geert Folkertsma has spent four years      developing a scale robotic cheetah that is not only capable      of replicating many of the real animal's movements, but in      doing so uses only 15 percent more energy than the real      thing.    <\/p>\n<p>      Ben      Coxworth April 17, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      When you've got a crop full of plants growing in a field,      inspecting each and every one of them can be very monotonous      work. With that in mind, scientists from Georgia Tech have      created a plant-inspecting robot that swings over the plants      like a monkey. It's called Tarzan.    <\/p>\n<p>      David      Szondy April 6, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      Chowbotics has unveiled Sally the Salad Robot, which uses up      to 21 seasonal ingredients to produce individual, bespoke      green salads on demand in thousands of combinations in under      a minute.    <\/p>\n<p>      Ben      Coxworth March 31, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      Scientists have developed a method of getting soft robotic      objects to move using directed magnetic fields. They say that      it could be used for applications ranging from      remotely-triggered drug-delivery pumps within the body, to      the development of remotely deployable structures.    <\/p>\n<p>      Paul      Ridden March 31, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      After a quick introduction yesterday, we take a closer look      at Festo's OctopusGripper, a versatile gripper for the      production line of tomorrow. The Future Concepts robot has      been designed to safely pick up, securely hold and gently put      down objects in the workplace.    <\/p>\n<p>      Paul      Ridden March 30, 2017    <\/p>\n<p>      The Bionic Learning Network arm of German automation company      Festo has revealed three bio-inspired robots ahead of the      Hannover Messe trade fair in April, a tentacle-packing pick      and pack gripper and two lightweight robots designed for      fluid movement.    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Link:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/newatlas.com\/robotics\/\" title=\"Robotics - News, Reviews, Features - New Atlas\">Robotics - News, Reviews, Features - New Atlas<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Loz Blain April 30, 2017 The worlds first giant robot fight is set to take place in August, between USA's MegaBots and Japans Kuratas.
