An experimental new undersea robot shows great promise for use in the upkeep of offshore renewable energy platforms. Because it has the ability to climb vertical underwater surfaces – and paint them – it’s known as the Crawfish.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Video: Robot climbs offshore wind turbines and paints while underwater
Neither Tom Nardi nor I are exactly young anymore, and we can both remember a time when joysticks were actually connected with wires to the computer or console, for instance. …read more Continue reading Wireless All the Things!
Although there’s been considerable excitement over the past half century of a Jetsons-like robotic future, outside of a few niche uses of our day-to-day lives there hasn’t been much in …read more Continue reading Lawny Five Keeps Lawn Mowed, Snow Plowed
Canadian firm Deep Trekker is probably best known for its Revolution, a top-of-the-line underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle). The company is now offering a much smaller, less pricey yet still very capable model, however, called the Photon.Continu… Continue reading Photon mini ROV is big on performing underwater tasks
These days, it’s pretty cheap and easy to build your own little RC hovercraft. [ValRC] demonstrates just that with a hovercraft build that is surprisingly nimble, and fast to boot. …read more Continue reading Hotshot 3D Printed Hovercraft is Devastatingly Fast
A number of companies are now running remote-control rental car services, in which “teledrivers” guide an empty car out to you by remote control, and then you drive it around yourself. It’s a weird halfway step towards fully autonomous robotaxis.Contin… Continue reading Remote-control rental cars: Not as driverless as they look
Reliable Robotics has been working on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) since its founding in 2017, with a number of demonstrations for the FAA so far as it works towards getting …read more Continue reading Cessna 208B Grand Caravan Flies Under Remote Control

While some blood clots can be removed via a flexible tool that’s inserted into the affected vein or artery, others are much more difficult to reach. Those other clots could one day be treated using remote-control “millirobots” that auger their way thro… Continue reading Clot-busting “millirobots” corkscrew their way through blood vessels
If you’re buying an expensive underwater drone that you plan on using frequently, you don’t want to have to send it away every time an upgrade or repair is required. Qysea’s new FiFish E-GO was designed with that consideration in mind, as it has a uniq… Continue reading Qysea’s modular FiFish E-GO comes apart for easier underwater droning
