If you want to work with robots you can do all sorts of learning with software and simulation, but nothing quite beats ...

In assembly lines, robots are programmed to perform a single task with high precision. Consider the example of automobile assembly, depicted in the picture above. Cars move along a conveyor belt, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. University of Science and Technology of China has made a fascinating development in robotics, with the octopus-inspired robotic ...

If you are thinking of building your very own desktop robot arm and were intrigued by the project published yesterday which took you through the process of creating a mini robotic arm using Arduino.

As the saying goes — when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you a two-ton surplus industrial robot arm, if you’re [Brian Brocken], you apparently make a massive 3D printer. The ...

It is projected that there are more than 57 million amputees worldwide and only about 5 percent of them have access to prosthetic care and technology. Those that do have access to prostheses are often ...

If you are interested in building your very own 3D printed robot arm you might be interested in a new set of design files that allow you to build the ARCTOS. The plans are available to purchase and ...

Among the more than 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of cargo that blasted off from Cape Canaveral on the 30th of January, bound for the International Space Station, were two firsts: the world’s first metal 3D ...

Scientists in Australia have developed a flexible soft robotic arm that 3D-prints cells onto organs, thereby circumventing many of the risks associated with surgery. A beta version of the ...

You can make some big 3D printed projects in your own home, but projects this massive are going to require a specialized ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print directly ...
