Get the heartbeat of the robotic industry by learning about events, new developments in private companies, government projects and more.
Every January, Las Vegas is the theatre of the annual grand mass of the consumer electronics industry during the CES. While every year gives us a glimpse into what could be the future, 2018 was somehow a bit different from the previous editions. This year, robots weren't just proof-of-concept units…
People have been missing the Arduino.org for quite some time. These were among the best Arduino compatible boards available on the market and they were a beloved best-seller at RobotShop. Fortunately, the wait is over now. CC Logistics, the new name of the company, just released a new lineup of pro…
This edition of the Consumer Electronic Show, the annual grand mass of electronics products in Las Vegas, has gifted us with so many robotics products that it might be hard to navigate among all the announcements. The team at RobotShop and our community have debated together and here's our ranking …
Robot Visions by Isaac Asimov Ever since the stories of Isaac Asimov, robotics had long been restricted to the imagination. Although it had been unclear in the past, the present state of technology shows that robotics has become a tangible reality. The evolution of robotics follows the same …
UPS has entered the drone delivery race. Take a look at their teaser video.
If you thought the most expensive material on the planet was a diamond, you were likely not considering radioactive elements like plutonium (or drugs like LSD), or very rare like californium. Scientists at Harvard have added a new one to the list of most expensive materials and it may even be at th…
3D Printed Graphene The structure you see above has the potential to be stronger than steel and considerably less dense. Researchers at MIT, in collaboration with the Office of Naval Research and the Departmnt of Defense, headed by Markus Buehler and supported by the intend to 3D print it usi
In a recent paper published in the journal Science Robotics, researchers from Cornell University presented their latest invention: a soft robot hand that is able to not only touch delicate items, but also to sense the shape and texture of the objects it comes it contact with.
Man versus machine has quickly become man merges with machine as assistive technologies continue to develop. Today, the loss of a limb does not automatically translate into the loss of mobility. This year introduced the Cybathlon, where athletes compete for gold using their assistive technologies. …
Arduino, the world’s leading open-source ecosystem for educators, Makers and IoT developers of all ages, today announced that Arduino LLC (aka Arduino.cc) and Arduino srl (aka Arduino.org) have settled their differences and signed a settlement agreement.
Mobile devices need power, and when it comes to electricity, LiPo is currently the most popular choice, but will it last? Researchers at UC Irvine have stumbled upon a battery technology which allows for a near infinite number of charging cycles without significant corrosion or decline in capacity.
As a follow-up to our previous article "Future Robot Technology", we are excited to see that researchers at Harvard University have unveiled a true bio-mechanical creation, a robotic stingray that reacts to light.
Can past technological accomplishments help predict future disruptive technology and innovations or should we try to think outside the box? Science fiction books, TV shows and movies provides a great source for inspiration, but what will robots really be like in the next 25, 50 or 100 years?
Again this year, RobotShop is participating in Arduino Day by offering a great selection of Arduino products at a discount. Special special discounts up to 30% will be offered on selected Arduino products all day Saturday April 2nd. Some specials will even continue into National Robotics week which…
American author, inventor, Google’s director of engineering and forward-looking prognosticator Ray Kurzweil once wrote, "We won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century - it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate)." If he's correct, then the revolution in robotics…
RobotShop announces the creation of a spin-off for MyRobots, The "Facebook® for robots", which will be integrated into the Robot Lab network, the first robotic incubator. RobotShop, the world's leading source for domestic and professional robots, has been developing, since 2009, a unique technolog…
