New simulations suggest Earthlike planets may be much more typical than previously thought whereas water worlds may not.| The Debrief
If you live in the Swiss municipality of Regensdorf, you may soon be getting packages delivered to your doorstep by a robot. The region is the location of a field test that was just launched by Swiss Post, grocery delivery company Migros Online, and robotics firm RIVR.| New Atlas
While legged robots are able to perform feats such as climbing stairs, their wheeled counterparts are faster and less complex. The Ascento robot offers the best of both worlds, as it has two jumping legs – each one with a wheel on the bottom.| New Atlas
It was a couple of years ago that we first heard about the ANYmal, a quadruped robot developed by ETH Zurich spin-off ANYbotics. Now, the Swiss company has announced its new-and-improved ANYmal C.| New Atlas
What's being hailed as the world's tallest 3D-printed building is being readied for assembly in a remote Swiss village. The White Tower from researchers at ETH Zurich will be formed from over a hundred columns, with a performance space sat on top.| New Atlas
Walking, legged robots may excel at climbing over obstacles, but wheels are still more efficient for travelling over smooth ground. That's why engineers at ETH Zurich have added powered wheels to their existing ANYmal quadruped robot.| New Atlas
ETH Zurich's ANYmal robot was already impressive back when it simply walked on four legs. It got more interesting when wheels were added to those legs, letting it both walk and roll. That wheeled version is now also able to stand up, and could soon be used for urban deliveries.| New Atlas
The ANYmal quadruped robot not only walks on four legs, it can also roll on four wheels, stand up, throw boxes, and make its way up and down stairs. As if all that wasn't enough, the thing can now also climb ladders.| New Atlas
Export credit agencies (ECAs) are increasingly channelling support for energy deals to high-income countries as they shift to renewables, a study has found, further shrinking poorer nations’ access to energy finance. Wealthy nations have driven a sharp rise in export credit support for renewable energy technology in recent years, but a study published today in ...| Global Trade Review (GTR)
The devices currently used to pump blood around the body in lieu of a healthy heart have their drawbacks. Whether huge washing machine-sized devices that keep patients anchored to a hospital bed or mechanical implants that cause other complications, there is plenty of room for improvement. With…| New Atlas
