Fraunhofer’s goROBOT3D slashes 3D scanning time for transparent and dark materials from 15 to 1.5 seconds using thermal ...

Thanks to a new system called goROBOT3D, developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and ...

A new, densely annotated 3D-text dataset called 3D-GRAND can help train embodied AI, like household robots, to connect ...

The automatic recognition of 3D objects with "uncooperative" surfaces is a difficult and slow process. The Fraunhofer IOF has ...

At least, that's the idea behind "cable-driven" mechanisms in which running a string through an object generates streamlined ...

Thanks to new single-shot technology, the goROBOT3D system, developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...

Your average 3D printer is just a nozzle shooting out hot  plastic while being moved around by a precise robotic mechanism.

Robots may excel at repetitive tasks, but they still struggle with objects that appear trivial to the human eye—such as clear ...

New technology recently developed in France enables six-axis robots to work on moving parts on assembly lines.

the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles before hardening into weight-bearing tools that push, throw, twist objects ...

The scientists have attached a 3D printer to the robot vacuum cleaner, which can be controlled wirelessly. It has been modified so that it can print objects directly on flat floors using an ...

The sensor forms a 5-meter virtual shield that helps people and robots safely share space. It combines wavelength-matched transducers with efficient signal processing for beamforming and object ...
