Robotic Chemists Disrupt Drug Discovery—Is Big Pharma Ready?

Think of a lab full of robots that run 24/7 trying all possible combinations of drugs whilst artificial intelligence figures out who might cure what disease-before a human chemist picks up a pipette. This is not a science fiction, but it occurs now. Startups, such as Insilico Medicine and Recursion Pharmaceuticals, are cutting drug discovery […]

Soft Robotics in Food Handling: Ubiros' Gentle Grippers

The Delicate Challenge of Automating Food Handling Soft Robotics in Food Handling: It has been a major problem in robotics to automate handling fragile food products. Food products’ different shapes, along with their fragile nature, are difficult for rigid and insensory traditional robotic grippers. Softness and attention cannot be handled easily by current traditional automation […]
