Raven Tech's system combines detection, autonomous flight, and net-based capture to neutralize unauthorized drones. Once an intruder is detected, the system deploys a drone to intercept and safely transport the rogue drone to a designated location.

"I felt like there were these patterns that were really related to my symptoms, but I didn't know how to connect them."

Chef Robotics has recently reached a remarkable milestone by completing 100 million servings in production, underscoring the company's commitment to innovation and the importance of automation in food manufacturing.

Chef Robotics has passed an important milestone: 100 million servings, defined as a portion of food that our robots deposit into a meal tray.

Bayer is supplementing human security patrols around its 8,000 acre Hawaiian corn farm with robotic security dogs, supplied by the tech firm Asylon. The Asylon dogs are meant to guard the company's precious maize from vandals, wildfires, wild fauna, and other hazards around the clock.

The body of the robotic fingers is built from polyglycerol sebacate, a synthetic elastomer made from glycerol and sebacic acid. Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production while sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, and both of them are plant-based. Polyglycerol sebacate is safe since it is already used in medical implants because the body can absorb it without a toxic response.

In 2024, the NHS began testing whether flying drones could do a better job than couriers shuttling blood samples between labs in Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals. Instead of weaving through traffic, the drones simply lifted off, crossed central London, and landed minutes later. Delivery times dropped to barely a couple of minutes, reliability shot up thanks to a lack of roadworks in the sky, and the service turned out to be cheaper too. Since then, more than 6,000 samples have been transported by air.

In footage circulating online, a Unitree G1 robot loses balance while performing in front of a crowd in China. As it hits the ground, it uncontrollably thrashes its limbs in all directions, hitting a man in the nose. The man, who appeared to be the robot's operator, had tried to grab the humanoid machine to stop it from tipping over. Later in the video, he can be seen squatting on the ground nursing a bleeding nose.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

About 8 million Americans use CPAP machines every night for sleep apnea. Dealing with the electronics, plastic tubing, and silicone masks from these devices has created a major waste problem. In most places, CPAP machines are considered electronic waste, so throwing them in the trash is usually illegal. The compressor inside has circuit boards with lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can pollute soil and water if not handled properly.

FireDrone is an aerogel-covered that can help firefighters in rescue missions by surveying for victims inside burning buildings. The assistive device aims to be the 'flying eye' in extreme environments so humans can be sure of who are and what is inside a site before going in. The FireDrone flying machine resembles a small quadcopter with its four arms and spinning propellers, but unlike regular drones, the parts of the device are built to survive high temperatures.

AI models like ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 can wolf down up to a dozen reference files-images, audio tracks, and camera movement samples-to flawlessly synthesize an alternate reality with no uncanny valley. And it costs only pennies do so.
