[Ivan Miranda] isn’t afraid to dream big, and hopes to soon build a 3D printed giant robot he can ride around on. As the first step towards that goal, he’s …read more Continue reading Big 3D Printed Hand Uses Big Servos, Naturally
While the concept of automotive “autopilots” are still in their infancy, pretty much any aircraft larger than an ultralight will have some mechanism to at least hold a fixed course …read more Continue reading Next-Gen Autopilot Puts a Robot at the Controls
It can really get us down watching as AIs learn to write music, poetry and technology news, but watching this clever autonomous toilet-bot mop up the bogs somehow makes it all worthwhile. It’s good to know robots are coming for the crappy jobs too.Cont… Continue reading Toilet-cleaning robot makes us feel better about all this AI business
Not satisfied with sending rovers to other worlds one at a time, NASA is sending three miniature robots to the Moon in 2024 as part of the Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration (CADRE) project. The goal is to see how such explorers can… Continue reading NASA to set a CADRE of autonomous rovers loose on the Moon
When the term ‘robot’ gets tossed around, our minds usually race to the image of a humanoid machine. These robots are a fixture in pop culture, and often held up …read more Continue reading Ask Hackaday: What’s The Deal With Humanoid Robots?
In an exciting step forward in surgery advances, the first liver transplant performed by a robot has successfully taken place in the US, as clinics plan to ramp up wider use of this innovative procedure.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: W… Continue reading First successful robotic liver transplant performed in the US
In a preview of tomorrow’s robotic battlefield, the Estonian Military Academy has completed what is billed as a comprehensive first-of-its-kind autonomy trial of Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGV) from 11 international developers from nine countries.Contin… Continue reading Estonia hosts field trials of autonomous military robots
A research paper titled Biological Organisms as End Effectors explores the oddball approach of giving small animals jobs as grippers at the end of a robotic arm. Researchers show that …read more Continue reading Pill Bugs and Chitons Get Jobs as Tiny Grippers
As much as a robot might excel at a certain mode of transport, as soon as conditions change it can become hopeless. Now engineers at Caltech have designed a new robot that can roll around on four wheels, flip them into rotors to fly, or transform for s… Continue reading Transforming robot drives, flies, crawls, stands, tiptoes and tumbles
Robot humanoids are cool, but also a bit hard to make work as they only have two legs to stand on. Four-legged robots can be a bit more approachable. The …read more Continue reading DingoQuadruped Is a Cheap Canine-Like Robot
