There were no robots available for the class. But when Don Davis and Brian Guy were approached by undergraduates in the engineering technology robotics class for support, they found a way to improve ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed 'dumb robots' can abruptly gather in large ...

The Genesis Project represents a significant leap forward in the convergence of generative AI and physics simulation, reshaping the way robots are trained and developed. By integrating innovative ...

TROY, N.Y. — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) was recently awarded two of 11 new technology projects from the Advanced Robotics and Manufacturing (ARM) Institute. The new investment totals more ...

An open-source project aims to give a rudimentary eye to robots with the help of a camera that can detect, identify and track the movement of specific objects. The Pixy camera sensor board, being ...

What if your childhood Tamagotchi could step off the screen and into the real world? Imagine a tiny robot, complete with blinking eyes and lifelike movements, responding to your voice and following ...

In one campus laboratory, electrical engineering doctoral student Karthik Subramanian adds facial recognition and heart rate bio-signals into the mind of a 9-foot-tall robot. In another workshop, ...
