Time of flight is the latest technology for accurate and affordable distance sensors. This is the first in a series of three articles bringing you the fundamentals of Time-of-Flight technology.
Today, space robots are a reality, and they help scientists and aerospace engineers explore the Solar System -- something humans just can't do. And things are just getting started. As technology develops, there are endless possibilities for space robots in the future.
The age-old question? Can machines think? My answer: yes, but not yet. Plenty of people will disagree, but before you jump to conclusions, read on.
This is the last part of three in our series "Fathers of Robotics". With robots getting more and more present in our daily lives, it's interesting to look back and get to know the great minds who first conceived a future where machines would help humans. Fathers of Robotics - Ismail Al-Jazari

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. …
NASA in on a "Journey to Mars". According to the space agency, we should see the first humans landing on Mars by 2033. Along this journey, NASA is planning to send robots to prepare the big landing. In 2013, NASA unveiled four sister robots which are the first of&nb…
Vision of a bionic runner In many ways, the human race has advanced radically in a very short period of time. People born with missing limbs can now live full and “normal” lives, as can those who have suffered injuries and amputations. This is a far cry from the days when an amputat
DelFly Micro The DelFly Micro, built by Delft University of Technology, is the world's smallest ornithopther. The flapping robot has a 10 cm wingspan and even includes a video camera. In a mere year-and-a-half, the team decreased the weight from the 16 grams of the DelFly II, to the amazing …
This is one of the most refreshing and clever uses of robotic technology that I've come across in a while - using robots to tend a tomato garden. The garden came about from the work of postdoc Nikolaus Correll who works in the MIT Distributed Robotics Lab and was part of an undergraduate cla…
The "Gulper AUV" is an underwater vehicle that is programmed to look for information of use to the scientific community. Gulper AUV Sub-Aquatic Robot The group explains that it has 'trained' the robot to retrieve the highest-quality information back to …
After months of trying, NASA is calling it quits on freeing the Spirit rover from the Martian sand that it's been stuck in since May of 2009. Â Unfortunately, after six years of tireless service, the end might be very near for the rover, which faces a severe Martian winter in its current positio

 Mars Rover Stuck After over five years of tireless service, the Mars rover Spirit is one again in trouble. Our long-lived martian friend now appears to be stuck in the sand. Spirit, which has been dragging an immobile wheel for nearly three years, has been circling a, "low plateau calle
Festo, a German engineering company which brought us the stunning AirJelly, has now unveiled their latest project - life-like robo-penginus. Even better, there 's a swimming and a flying version. The penguins, which were designed to showcase a new mechanical linkage/control design for robotic a…
