Abstract: This article explores the integration of biodegradable nanorobots and edge computing as a sustainable approach to environmental monitoring. Traditional cloud-based systems consume extensive energy for data transmission and computation, creating a paradox where digital progress contributes to ecological degradation. By embedding computation directly into eco-friendly, … [Read more...] about Biodegradable nanorobots meet edge computing: Sustainable intelligence in the soil

Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development
Social robots hold great promise for assisting both older adults with dementia and those in good health. Yet, little is known about how people want to interact with these robots. This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We … [Read more...] about Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development
Electroadhesive robotics experiment in simulated microgravity
Canada has a strong presence in space robotics, and Mission SpaceWalker (MSW) is a group of ambitious young women who are leaning into Canadian robotics excellence through their investigation of how electroadhesive (EA) robots behave in reduced gravity, all while introducing a new testing procedure for rovers and adhesive space robotics. As an undergraduate student team at the … [Read more...] about Electroadhesive robotics experiment in simulated microgravity
