With the recent boom of the robotic exoskeleton industry, more and more patients are being strapped into machines that apply forces to their legs as they walk, gently prodding them to modify their movements by lengthening their strides, straightening their hips, and bending their knees. But, are all patients benefiting from this kind of treatment?

May 10th-11th saw the 2017 European-leg of the IDTechEx Show! In this article IDTechEx analysts share some of the most interesting innovations on offer at the show.

Automated valets have arrived at Paris-Charles De Gaulle airport to park your cars thanks to Stanley Robotics.

The research team took an animal's locomotive abilities to apply the theory of using a robot as a parasite. The robot is attached to its host animal in a way similar to an actual parasite, and it interacts with the host through particular devices and algorithms.

A robotics system, trained entirely in simulation and deployed on a physical robot, which can learn a new task after seeing it done once.

Strong positive feedback and growth at Europe's most important event on emerging technologies

IDTechEx analyst Dr David Pugh attended the recent Hannover Messe - in this article he shares his key findings from the event.

Artificial intelligence doesn't have to be super-sophisticated to make a difference in people's lives, according to a new Yale University study. Even "dumb AI" can help human groups.

Engineers have developed the first soft robot that is capable of walking on rough surfaces, such as sand and pebbles

Researchers have created a team of free-flying robots that obeys the two rules of the air: don't collide or undercut each other. They've also built autonomous blimps that recognize hand gestures and detect faces.

A newly developed printable elastic conductor retains high conductivity even when stretched to as much as five times its original length.

A group of researchers are designing autonomous underwater vehicle with biosensors to monitor water quality.
