Carnegie Mellon University has signed a five-year master agreement with one of the world's largest mining companies, London-based Anglo American PLC, to develop robotic technologies for mining.
Quantum International Corp. took a big step toward what is expected to be a very profitable alliance this week by preparing a term sheet for presentation to Clelland DataSciences, Inc. (CDS).
In the last few years, Navy scientists, along with research institutions around the world, have been engineering resilient robots for minesweeping and other risky underwater missions. The ultimate goal is to design completely autonomous robots that can navigate and map cloudy underwater environments— without any prior knowledge of those environments — and detect mines as small as an iPod.
U.S. robotics company iRobot has received a patent approval for a system that allows a robot to return autonomously to its operator if wireless communications fail. The patent is for the “retrotravese” technology that it has developed for its 510 PackBot. It is also the hundredth patent that the company had received for its robotic technologies.
Northrop Grumman, a global security company will highlight its maritime security capabilities, including ship control and marine navigation technology, and unmanned aircraft systems for coastal and maritime surveillance applications at the Pacific 2012 International Maritime Conference in Sydney, Australia.
Trafikverket has chosen the ventilation control systems from Identec Solutions for their tunnel construction project. Trafikverket takes care of automating the entire transportation network of Sweden, such as sea, rail, roads and flight.
The researchers at the Sandia National Laboratories have built a robot that is capable of gathering valuable first-hand information whenever an accident occurs in mines which will help the first responders in the rescue operations.
Robots perform the robotic mission impossible in this wonderful feat from European researchers. Three different kinds of robots must work together to reach their objective, a book on a high shelf. The exact location of the book is not known to the robots and they must work as a swarm to accomplish the mission.
The SUMMIT (supervision of unmanned mission management by interactive teams) technology of Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) was demonstrated by Lockheed Martin on board a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) test vehicle at the Panama City Naval Surface Warfare Center.
President Obama has announced a $70 million initiative to accelerate the development and use of robots in the United States that work beside, or co-operatively with people. The proposal has been called the National Robotics Initiative and is backed by a number of government run agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
