Robotics, sensors & devices

Every April, National Robotics Week fuels a heightened awareness around robotics, its impact on society, and its growing importance in a wide variety of fields and applications. Robotics, however, never seems to achieve its hyped potential from its beginnings in industrial applications, when the benefits of fast, precise, repetitive manipulation in manufacturing were a significant driver for…

SRI Robotics has long been known for advancing robotics and delivering new technology platforms to the market. As robotics moves beyond industrial applications to other sectors, such as wearables and medical devices, SRI continues to be a leader in the field. Today, we are excited to introduce another transformational robotic technology from SRI being brought…

Unlike traditional robots, nature offers hard and soft structures, actuators, sensors, and grippers that achieve many of these capabilities. Soft structures and systems are also inherently safer when interacting with people.

Lately it seems that robotics is at the forefront of many conversations—about technology, jobs, startups, education, and more. At SRI, we’re gearing up for National Robotics Week in April and partnering with Xconomy to bring together some of the industry’s foremost thought leaders on April 10 at Robo Madness 2014. And, we’ll be sharing our passion for robotics…
