Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shared a pre-print paper on generalized robot training within a small “practical data budget.” The team developed a system that breaks movement tasks into …read more Continue reading RoboAgent Gets Its MT-ACT Together
ARCTOS is a 6-DOF robot arm based upon 3D printed mechanics running a modified version of GRBL firmware. Let’s get this straight now, the firmware is open source, but the …read more Continue reading Arctos Robotics: Build A Robot Arm Out Of 3D Printer Spares?
Thanks to 3D printing and inexpensive controllers, a robot arm doesn’t need to break the bank anymore. Case in point? [Build Some Stuff] did a good-looking compact arm with servos …read more Continue reading $60 Robot Arm is Compact
With laser cutters and 3D printers in our arsenal as well as the global toy shop of mass-produced parts and single-board computers, building a robotic project has almost never been …read more Continue reading How Home Made Robot Arms Used To Be Made
A major challenge of robotic arms is the weight of the actuators, especially closer to the end of the arm. The long lever arm means more torque is required from …read more Continue reading 3-DOF Robot Arm Wrist Without The Motor Weight
In a straight fight between a houseplant and a human, you might expect the plant to be at a significant disadvantage. So [David Bowen] has decided to even the odds …read more Continue reading (Mostly) Harmless Houseplant Wields Machete
Most of the robot arms we see are cool but little more than toys. Usually, they use RC servos to do motion and that’s great for making some basic motion, …read more Continue reading Real Robot One is… Real
Sisyphus is an art installation by [Kachi Chan] featuring two scales of robots engaged in endless cyclic interaction. Smaller robots build brick arches while a giant robot pushes them down. …read more Continue reading Robot Repeatedly Rearranges Remnants in the Round
[Maurizio] built a robot arm, which is always a great accomplishment. But his project includes a very cool touch interface for an Android device that sets it apart from many …read more Continue reading Robot Arm Has the Touch
You’ve built a robot crammed full of servos and now you settle down for the fun part, programming your new dancing animatronic bear! The pain in your life is just …read more Continue reading Animate Your Robot In Blender
