Bluebots are fish-shaped robots that can coordinate their movements in three dimensions underwater, rather than the two dimensions previously achieved by Kilobots. Credit: Harvard SEAS By Leah Burrows / SEAS Communications Schools of fish exhibit complex, synchronized behaviors that help them find food, migrate, and evade predators. No one fish or sub-group of fish coordinates …
Collaborative robot safety is supposed to be simple… but it can sometimes seem infuriatingly complex. The marketing suggests that cobots are inherently safe in all situations… but then you get started and it turns out that this is not true for all applications! Are cobots really safe? Why is cobot safety not as simple as …
