A Korean barbecue spot in Johns Creek, Georgia has invested in four LG CLOi ServeBot robotic assistants to help it carry dishes to customers. Arirang K has been using the robots since Jun 2022 and said both employees and customers alike have enjoyed interacting with the robots. The LG CLOI ServeBots are equipped with three shelves that can each carry items up to 22 lb. The robots, which last for about 11 hours on a charge, can be controlled by voice and navigate to specific tables and the back of the kitchen. The restaurant said the robots have helped servers…

…us upright. A new study from researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University is taking the first step toward addressing the balance problem. In a paper published Feb. 15 in Science Robotics, the group showed an ankle exoskeleton must react faster than our bodies to improve balance. Participants didn’t recover any more quickly when the exoskeleton delayed applying power until the same time muscles in the leg and ankle activated to restore balance. “It was surprising that using physiologically delayed assistance from the exoskeletons didn't help at all,” said Max Shepherd, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Tech…

…about Material Designer is here. Seeking New Software The Georgia Institute of Technology been studying the idea of designer materials for AM for several years, says Yan Wang, an associate professor of mechanical engineering. The idea of local modification of materials or structure, with both polymer and metal, “is needed,” says Wang, “but as of yet there is no such tool.” Researchers at Georgia Tech University are exploring how material properties are affected by interaction at micro, meso and macro levels.

…effort with a roboticist, Yue Chen, and others at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the University of Arkansas, are working on an autonomous robotic system that could complete the arduous task of picking blackberries. The autonomous robot would use soft robotics to perform the delicate operation. It uses a soft robotic gripper to carefully grasp and remove blackberries from the plant without damaging the plant or the berries. Chen is a biomedical engineering roboticist and said the motions required to perform something as mundane as blackberry picking is an ideal candidate for a soft robot that would be…
