An algorithm for optimizing the cost and efficiency of human-robot collaborative assembly lines
Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 15, 2021 | 14:30 pmRobots are rapidly making their way into a variety of settings, including industrial and manufacturing facilities. So far, they have shown great potential for speeding up and automating a number of manufacturing processes by substituting or assisting human workers on assembly lines. To be adopted on a large scale, however, robots for manufacturing should be both efficient and relatively affordable.

Wielding a laser beam deep inside the body
Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 13, 2021 | 19:00 pmMinimally invasive surgeries in which surgeons gain access to internal tissues through natural orifices or small external excisions are common practice in medicine. They are performed for problems as diverse as delivering stents through catheters, treating abdominal complications, and performing transnasal operations at the skull base in patients with neurological conditions.

Fish-inspired robots coordinate movements without any outside control
Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 13, 2021 | 19:00 pmSchools of fish exhibit complex, synchronized behaviors that help them find food, migrate and evade predators. No one fish or team of fish coordinates these movements nor do fish communicate with each other about what to do next. Rather, these collective behaviors emerge from so-called implicit coordination—individual fish making decisions based on what they see their neighbors doing.

Taking the lab into the ocean: A fleet of robots tracks and monitors microbial communities
Robotics News - Robot News, Robotics, Robots, Robotics Sciences Jan 13, 2021 | 19:00 pmResearchers from MBARI, the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UH Mānoa), and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, after years of development and testing, have successfully demonstrated that a fleet of autonomous robots can track and study a moving microbial community in an open-ocean eddy. The results of this research effort were recently published in Science Robotics.
