Oscar Vail is a pioneering expert at the intersection of robotics and bio-inspired design. His work involves looking to nature not just for inspiration, but for elegant, time-tested solutions to complex engineering problems. His latest project, the HERMES robot, is a testament to this philosophy,
The modern smart factory is often envisioned as a futuristic landscape of autonomous robots and predictive artificial intelligence, but the true bedrock of this industrial revolution is built upon a far less visible, yet infinitely more critical, framework of universally accepted standards. These
The prospect of large, pilotless aircraft navigating the skies to deliver cargo is rapidly moving from science fiction to an operational objective, but this futuristic vision hinges on solving one of aviation’s most complex challenges: safely integrating autonomous systems into the bustling,
Oscar Vail is a technology expert whose work sits at the fascinating intersection of developmental psychology and robotics. He and his team are pioneering a new "meta-learning framework" designed to teach robots how to physically interact with the world not by programming them with rigid
In robotics, we’ve made incredible strides with vision; machines can see and navigate the world with impressive skill. But the sense of touch, the very first way we experience our own world, remains a profound challenge. My work in soft robotics is dedicated to bridging this gap, exploring how we
In a move poised to reshape the European deep tech landscape, Generative Bionics has successfully closed a landmark €70 million funding round, marking one of the most substantial investments in the continent's burgeoning humanoid robotics sector. The Italian company, a spin-off from the renowned
