Engineers in Australia have developed a small robot designed to help clean up oil spills more safely and efficiently. The device, nicknamed the “Electronic Dolphin,” is about the size of a sneaker and ...

Minimal-actuator robotic bicycle demonstrates high-speed mobility and obstacle-jumping using advanced control electronics.

National Instruments’ LabVIEW has been used with robots for decades. It mostly has been employed by developers looking to take advantage of graphical programming tools (see “LabVIEW: Graphical ...

A new Electronic Dolphin robot can clean up oil spills using a sea urchin-inspired filter that pulls in oil while pushing water away.

WHAT is twice as fun as a motor? Two motors. Last week, we learned how to meet their power-hungry needs. Now, we can double up – and because the micro:bit can control them, we can make a robot that ...

A developer who writes all the software would need expertise in real-time programming, motor control, AI, maybe some image and video processing, and so on. Fortunately, platforms like ROS (Robot ...

Flexible electronics such as flexible sensors, flexible circuits, and flexible actuators hold promising applications in robotic systems. They can effectively enhance a robot's intelligence, enabling ...

I remember when I was a young lad making simple robots using household items such as motors from vacuum cleaners (sorry mom). Robotic vision? Computerized control systems? Don't make me laugh! How ...
