Real Robot One is… Real
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

Dead Spider Becomes Robot Gripper: It’s Necrobotics!
Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance windows. They’re …read more Continue reading Dead Spider Becomes Robot Gripper: It’s Necrobotics!
An Impressively Functional Tacobot
We’re big fans of useless machines here at Hackaday, there’s something undeniably entertaining about watching a gadget flail about dramatically without actually making any progress towards a defined goal. But …read more Continue reading An Impressively Functional Tacobot
Israel Ministry of Defense to test drone-packing advanced robotic tank
The Israeli Ministry of Defense plans to begin testing of a Medium Robotic Combat Vehicle (M-RCV) next year. The vehicle unveiled last week at the Eurosatory Defense and Security Exhibition in Paris by Elbit Systems will act as an advanced technology d… Continue reading Israel Ministry of Defense to test drone-packing advanced robotic tank
Scientists cover robotic finger with living skin made from human cells
We’ve been hearing a lot about synthetic skins designed for robotic hands, which would give the devices more human-like qualities. Well, scientists in Japan have gone a step further, by covering a robotic finger in a self-healing skin made from live hu… Continue reading Scientists cover robotic finger with living skin made from human cells
Unmanned combat robot disarmed for reconnaissance duties
Milrem Robotics has rolled out its latest THeMIS Observe battlefield robot variant based on its modular THeMIS UGV platform, with an emphasis on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), as part of the EU’s fourth iMUGS project demonstration… Continue reading Unmanned combat robot disarmed for reconnaissance duties
Smallest-ever remote-control walking robot uses shape-memory alloy
Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois have demonstrated the world’s smallest remote-controlled walking robot, at just half a millimeter wide. Such tiny machines can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn and jump without hydraulics or electricity…. Continue reading Smallest-ever remote-control walking robot uses shape-memory alloy
Practice Makes Perfect for this Ball and Socket Robot
Ball and socket joints are useful, but making a part slide over the surface of a sphere, held by magnets, requires a lot of fiddling to get right. We admire …read more Continue reading Practice Makes Perfect for this Ball and Socket Robot
Spider-legged WAM-V suspension boats float over the waves
California’s Marine Advanced Robotics has made considerable progress on its remarkable Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) since we first saw these wild spider-boats 16 years ago on a list of urban legends. Legends and photoshops they were not – indee… Continue reading Spider-legged WAM-V suspension boats float over the waves
Tiny dental nanobots generate heat to deep clean the teeth
The buildup of bacteria deep in our teeth can cause infections in difficult-to-reach areas, and scientists at the Indian Institute of Science have developed a set of tiny cleaning robots they believe are up to the task. The nano-sized machines can be s… Continue reading Tiny dental nanobots generate heat to deep clean the teeth
