Researchers' study of human-robot interactions is an early step in creating future robot 'guides'
A new study by Missouri S&T researchers shows how human subjects, walking hand-in-hand with a robot guide, stiffen or relax their arms at different times during the walk. The researchers' analysis of these movements could ...

Army looks to improve quadrotor drone performance
When an aircraft veers upwards too much, the decrease in lift and increase in drag may cause the vehicle to suddenly plummet. Known as a stall, this phenomenon has prompted many drone manufacturers to err on the side of extreme ...
