Scientists have created DNA robots: they work like ordinary living cells

Chemists have integrated computer functions into DNA-based motors: they have opened up a field in which they will use miniature molecular robots. These are the first works based on DNA, they can perform calculations, as well as burn fuel and move in a given direction. Devices can take in chemical information in the environment, process...

The world’s first artificial hand provides a sense of touch and can be easily removed during the day
A unique prosthesis helps amputees regain hand function after losing a limb. Interesting Engineering spoke with CEO Tyler Hayes of startup Atom Limbs. He is now developing “the world’s first truly artificial human hand.” We are talking about the model Atom Touch. In an interview, Hayes explained how the Atom Touch works and what makes...

Researchers will teach robots to cooperate with each other, like ants do
A new study explains how ant rafts can transform: shrink, expand, or grow into long, proboscis-like protrusions. The scientists’ findings could help develop robots that work together in “swarms” or next-generation materials in which molecules migrate to fix defects. “The origins of this behavior are quite simple to explain. Lonely ants are not as smart...

Insect robots have appeared that jump on sand, water and squeeze into any place
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have created tiny robots that look like insects. They can perform tasks in hard-to-reach places. University of Pittsburgh engineers have created insect robots that can take pictures from hard-to-reach places, take water samples, or perform structural assessments. In any place where there is physically limited access, where people cannot...

Watch the world’s first hydraulic multicopter test
Flowcopter begins flight testing of the world’s first hydraulically powered unmanned aerial vehicle. Edinburgh-based startup Flowcopter has created cargo unmanned aerial vehicles. They run on certified internal combustion engines. Displacement pumps put them into operation – they distribute and regulate the hydraulic flow to balance the drone in flight. Multicopters can lift heavy loads and...

Robots are replacing people and this leads to an increase in mortality among adults
A new study has found that manufacturing automation in the US is contributing to higher deaths among working-age adults in America. When robots replace people in factories, people die, according to a new study by researchers at Yale and Pennsylvania Universities. Scientists have found evidence of a causal relationship between automation and an increase in...

NASA postponed the flight around the Moon as part of the Artemis program for April-May
In August last year, NASA Inspector General Paul Martin said that the landing of astronauts on the Moon in 2024 is not possible due, in particular, to delays in the development of spacesuits. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is postponing the planned March flight of the Orion spacecraft around the Moon as part...

3D printed algae ball robots to monitor water conditions
Cost-effective and biodegradable semi-robots made from algae have been 3D printed. They will monitor the state of the water. Engineers have created a seaweed robot that can move along the bottom. An article about the development was published in the Journal of Biological Engineering. The peculiarity of the robot is that it moves due to...
