What Makes a Drone Military-Grade?

1 day ago | azorobotics.com | Bethan Davies |Ankit Singh

Reviewed by Bethan DaviesWhen most people think of drones, they picture small quadcopters zipping through the sky for photography, delivery, or recreation. But military drones are a completely different breed. These are high-performance machines designed to operate in some of the most hostile and unpredictable environments on Earth.
Autonomous Agriculture: The Tech Sector’s Next Big Bet in Sustainability

3 days ago | azorobotics.com | Bethan Davies

Farmers today are working under some serious pressure to produce more food while using fewer resources, and doing it all in a way that’s environmentally responsible. It’s a tall order—and one that’s pushing agriculture to rethink how things get done in the field.

According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 15th, 2025, a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool has revealed how disease-linked proteins misfold into harmful structures, providing a significant advance in understanding neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Your Guide to Smarter Manufacturing with Machine Learning

1 week ago | azorobotics.com | Bethan Davies |Soham Nandi

Reviewed by Bethan DaviesManufacturing is an energy-hungry industry. Whether it’s heating, cooling, or machining, these processes are some of the biggest energy consumers out there. And with that energy use comes a hefty carbon footprint. For manufacturers trying to balance performance with sustainability, that’s a big challenge.
New Soft Robot from MIT Could Help First Responders Navigate Disaster Zones

1 week ago | azorobotics.com | Bethan Davies |Soham Nandi

Reviewed by Bethan DaviesMIT researchers have unveiled a new tool for navigating disaster zones: the Soft Pathfinding Robotic Observation Unit, or SPROUT. This flexible, inflatable robot is designed to thread its way through collapsed buildings, providing rescuers with eyes and sensors in places too dangerous or narrow for humans or traditional machines.
NASA’s Perseverance Captures Rare Dust Devil Collision on Mars

1 week ago | azorobotics.com | Bethan Davies |Soham Nandi

Reviewed by Bethan DaviesNASA’s Perseverance rover recently captured a rare and dynamic interaction on Mars: a large dust devil overtaking a smaller one near Jezero Crater. While it might sound like a small atmospheric quirk, events like this offer scientists valuable insight into Martian weather systems, wind behavior, and dust transport—critical factors in understanding the planet’s climate and preparing for future missions.
NASA’s Perseverance Rover is Testing Spacesuit Materials on Mars

2 weeks ago | azorobotics.com | Bethan Davies |Soham Nandi

Reviewed by Bethan DaviesA new NASA study is putting future astronaut gear to the test—right on the Martian surface—with the help of the Perseverance rover. In a recent article, researchers detailed how the Perseverance rover is helping evaluate the durability of spacesuit materials under Mars’s extreme environmental conditions. These tests are designed to simulate what future astronauts’ gear will face—from high radiation levels and abrasive dust to freezing temperatures.
Engineers Develop Robotic Gripper Inspired by Measuring Tape

2 weeks ago | azorobotics.com | Laura Thomson

Unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending is a game that plenty of people played as kids and possibly even later in life. However, this activity served as motivation for engineers at the University of California, San Diego, who thought that measuring tape might make a fantastic material for a robotic gripper. The findings were published in Science Advances on April 9th, 2025.
