A new imaging technique developed by MIT researchers could enable quality-control robots in a warehouse to peer through a ...

Robots typically lag behind, however, which is why the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a robot arm with the reaction time needed to catch just about anything.

After training, the system allows the robot to take a photo of an object and then pick the object up at a specific point. This technique could find use not only in industry but in homes as well.

Well, according to a study published in Science Robotics, this arm could be pretty useful for those in the inspection industry or environmental arena. Naturally, a robotic arm like this is capable ...
