Scientists at the University of Texas at Arlington, for example, have built a soft exoskeleton that fastens onto the arm and, in one recent study, reduced how hard participants’ biceps and triceps had ...

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of systems that can effectively tackle some real-world problems. Most of these robots, however, often perform poorly on tasks that they ...

According to a recent study published in Advanced Intelligent Systems, the brain can adapt to an artificial third arm and use it for simple tasks. This keeps alive the dream of precision mechanics and ...

He was able to grasp, move, and release objects simply by imagining himself performing the actions. The device, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), functioned successfully for a record seven ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, learning about science and engineering can be a lot more fun if it’s practical. You could sit around learning about motors and control theory, or you could ...

Tired of watching cool robotics projects online and feeling like they’re out of your reach? You’re not alone. Many enthusiasts face the challenge of turning their tech dreams into reality. But what if ...

A soft patch on the arm could soon let you steer robots with simple hand movements, even while your whole body is in motion.

End of arm tooling (EoAT) refers to the devices attached to the end of a robotic arm that allow it to interact with objects and perform specific tasks. These tools range from simple grippers to ...

Robot vacuums have evolved exponentially in just a few years, progressing from relatively low-powered models that simply rolled around and “found” their way, to powerful vacuum and mop combos that ...
