A cheap to produce and easy to assemble robot for use in STEM education.
An open source robot to inspect under vehicles, crawl spaces and any other dark dirty space you need to take a look at.
Potatoes deserve to roam the earth, so [Marek Baczynski] created the first self-driving potato, ushering in a new era of potato rights. Potato batteries have been around forever. Anyone whoโs played Portalย 2 knows that with a copper and zinc electrode, you can get a bit of current out of a potato. Tubersย have been powering clocks for decades in science classrooms around the world. Itโs time for something โ revolutionary.
A compact & modular WiFi/BLE controlled 4WD robot platform with all required sensors
Your Arduino Balancing Robot (YABR) is a self-balancing robot that you can build yourself as a school project or as a fun project with your kids. It might look simple but there is a lot that you can learn from building this self-balancing robot.
Inspired by a childhood love of dinosaurs, I wanted to try and make a member of the ceratopsian group. And to attempt to give the feel and personality of a juvenile dinosaur.
Video depicting ihmc's work on the Planar Elliptical Runner. The Planar Elliptical Runner is a running robot that can run about 12 miles per hour on a treadmill. It is sandwhiched between two plates of glass, which keep it in the sagittal plane. It cannot turn or tip sideways, but it can tip forward/backward and fall down. The robot is "open loop stable". There is only 1 motor driving the legs. There are no sensors or computers on board. An RC car radio controller determines how much power to apply to the motor. Give the robot more power and it runs faster. Less power and it runs slower. In simulation we are exploring how to extend this concept to 3D running. Initial simulations are showing promising results.
It took less than 24 hours for Twitter to corrupt an innocent AI chatbot. Yesterday, Microsoftย unveiled Tay โ a Twitter bot that the company described as an experiment in "conversational understanding." The more you chat with Tay, said Microsoft, the smarter it gets, learning to engage people through "casual and playful conversation."
Cheap Arduino-based 2-wheel robot
Pixy-powered walking robot
There are manyย designs for little two-wheeled robots available to download for constructors with an interest in simple robotics. You might even think there are so many that there could not possibly be room for another, but that has not deterred [Rob Miles]. Heโs created HullPixelBot, a platform for a mobile pixel as well as for simple robotic experimentation.
A vintage robot arm.
Exoskeletons first made the transition from science fiction to feasible technology in military and industrial applications. These are domains in which thereโs enough funding that $100,000 proxy frames make economic sense. But exoskeletons can also go a long way in helping the everyday person with paraplegia, muscular disorders and motor disabilities regain mobility, and SuitX hopes to make the technology available to them at much lower costs
Changying Precision Technology Company in Dongguan city has set up an unmanned factory run almost entirely by robots. The factory has since seen fewer defects and a higher rate of production.
Crรฉer des รชtres ร notre image ne pose pas seulement des problรจmes รฉthiques.

Et si nos ordinateurs et nos robots trouvaient leur origine dans une rรฉvolution technologique survenue en France au XVIIIe siรจcle, axรฉe sur la reproduction mรฉcanique du vivant ? Jean-Claude Simard, philosophe canadien, nous rappelle ce pan dโhistoire souvent relรฉguรฉ au second plan par la rรฉvolution industrielle anglaise.
Comment sโy prennent ingรฉnieurs et chercheurs pour faire face aux pannes quand elles affectent un vaisseau ou un instrument spatial distant de plusieurs millions de kilomรจtres ? Des scientifiques qui travaillent sur les missions Curiosity et Rosetta nous รฉclairent sur cette รฉpineuse question.
Augmenter lโhumain, le rendre plus fort, plus rapide, repousser les limites physiques du corps humain... Trรจs tรดt, la science-fiction a imaginรฉ lโhomme bionique et les cyborgs. C'est le cas par exemple dans la sรฉrie tรฉlรฉvisรฉe L'homme qui valait trois milliards. Oรน en est-on rรฉellement aujourd'hui dans ce domaine ? รtudions cela de plus prรจs !
