NASA and other space agencies work to develop technology that can be used in space for scientific discovery or human exploration. But that technology often finds uses far beyond its original intention ...

Footage from the streets of China captured a scene straight from a science fiction novel – spherical drones alongside patrolling law enforcement. Chinese robotics company, Logon Technology, unveiled ...

Chinese law enforcement agencies have been reported to have initiated tests of an autonomous spherical robot. The spherical robocop in use is named RT-G, developed by home-grown robotics company Logon ...

Spherical robots comprise a class of mobile systems characterised by a fully enclosed spherical shell that integrates internal actuation mechanisms. Their dynamics are defined by complex nonholonomic ...

We don't know much about the moon's subsurface environment, but the same was true of the moon's surface in the past. To explore these unseen depths, the European Space Agency is evaluating a spherical ...

China's latest innovation in policing technology has rolled onto the scene, quite literally. The Rotunbot RT-G, developed by Logon Technology, is a spherical robot that's turning heads and chasing ...

If you thought the threat of police robots died with the demise of New York's subway bot, you'd be wrong. A new rolling robot has been sent into the field in China. The spherical crime fighting device ...

In an article published in the journal Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, scientists have successfully replicated collective movements with spherical robots by drawing inspiration from the visual ...

NASA's cutting-edge spherical robots, initially devised for exploring Mars and the Moon, have unexpectedly found a new purpose right here on our home planet. Dr. Alice Agogino, a highly regarded ...

While working at NASA in 2003, Dr. Robert Ambrose, director of the Robotics and Automation Design Lab (RAD Lab), designed a robot with no fixed top or bottom. A perfect sphere, the RoboBall could not ...

Spherical mobile robots represent a versatile class of autonomous systems that encapsulate the mechanical advantages of a sealed, omnidirectional shell with innovative internal actuation mechanisms.
