Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Michigan have demonstrated that elastic rods can be utilized in robotic designs to enhance mobility. These rods can bend and twist, allowing robots to snap between different shapes, which releases stored energy for dynamic m...
Recent advancements in biohybrid robotics have seen the integration of frog leg muscles to drive manta ray-inspired robots. This innovative approach pushes the boundaries of traditional robotics by incorporating biological elements, enabling more efficient movement and adaptability in aquatic enviro...
Engineers at the University of Washington have created a small robot named DirectHop that can hop over obstacles, land, and prepare for subsequent jumps. This innovative prototype utilizes a tiny electric motor and three folding legs, allowing it to achieve precise jump heights with single-centimete...
Researchers from UCLA and the University of Michigan have developed a small robot measuring 11 centimeters that utilizes twisted elastic rods to jump. This innovative design allows the robot to store energy through the twisting of the rods and release it suddenly, propelling the robot forward. Weigh...
Alien Control Systems (ACS) is launching a new 191,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas, to enhance production of its Bullfrog counter-drone system. This expansion is a direct response to increased demand from the U.S. and allied nations for effective countermeasures against weapo...
The Marine Corps has selected Allen Control Systems' Bullfrog M240 autonomous weapon for integration into its Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System (L-MADIS). This system is part of the Ground Based Air Defense program and includes two Polaris MRZR vehicles, one serving as a command unit and th...
In a recent statement, CEO Elon Musk indicated that Tesla could potentially achieve around $1 trillion in revenue by the year 2030. This ambitious projection reflects the company's ongoing growth and expansion plans in the electric vehicle market and beyond. Musk's comments, made on Sunday, highligh...
Allen Control Systems has successfully secured $200 million in a Series B funding round aimed at enhancing the production of its autonomous counter-drone weapons systems, which are intended for the U.S. military and its allied nations. The funding round was spearheaded by Smash Capital, with contrib...
