Sleep disturbances are far more common among workers in mid-later life than previously believed. Nearly 70% have clinically significant sleep problems, and almost 92% met clinical threshold for sleep disorder. These sleep problems were closely linked to work-related stress.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have achieved a major milestone by using teleoperated humanoid robots to perform live minimally invasive surgeries during preclinical trials. The breakthrough marks the first time humanoid robots have successfully completed live surgical procedures, opening new possibilities for robotic healthcare. Two Successful Surgical Procedures The research team carried…

Generative AI is transforming the workplace faster than ever, but new research from the University of Vaasa suggests the biggest threat may not be AI itself — it’s falling behind in learning how to use it. Researcher Zhe Zhu found that employees who see tools like ChatGPT and Gemini as helpful collaborators rather than job-stealing…

Abstract According to the latest IndexBox report on the global Spherical Robot market, the market enters 2026 with broader demand fundamentals, more disciplined procurement behavior, and a more regionally diversified supply architecture. The World Spherical Robot market is entering a sustained growth phase, with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate of 9–12% over the…

I made a 2dof raspberry pi object tracking robot in c++. It is the second iteration of a 1dof version i had made: https://github.com/Dawsatek22/raspberrypi_objectracking_1dof_cpp . i still need to make te documentation and post the cad files but if you wanna check the code i posted it on the repo: https://github.com/Dawsatek22/raspberrypi_objectracking_2dof_cpp- . submitted by…

Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can predict the ripeness of strawberries by touch. Credit: Anand Mishra. By David Nutt When assessing the ripeness of fruit, sight and smell can tell you a lot, but the best indicator is often how the fruit feels. Cornell researchers used stretchable…

The soft robotic model of the human heart, developed at UNSW. Credit: UNSW/Richard Freeman. UNSW researchers have developed a soft robotic model of the human heart that can mimic disease and provide a realistic environment for testing the next generation of cardiac devices. Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart…
