Environmental damage and climate change have long-lasting impacts on the world and the way people live. Some organizations have turned to robotics to help their efforts. Robots offer many options for improving the environment, whether they operate on land or at sea. Solving the…
Soft robotics involves highly compliant materials; it is a subfield of robotics focused on creating robots that act very similar to living organisms, including the way they move and adapt to surroundings. Now that we have a better glimpse of what robotic applications in soft robotics may be, let…
What technology stands behind e-paper? About new partnership with Lummico - the innovative e-paper tag producer.
We had the pleasure to sponsor a very interesting school project that targeted a real-world problem. These two smart students developped their own connected lock and are sharing today the story of their project. Who are we? We are Nathan Hampton and Quinn Sulejmani. Two Engineering Design a…
Drones are being used for surveillance, capture the breathtaking view of the earth below, and deliver goods to high-rise apartments and in remote areas. Here is an overview of the potential of using drones in the construction industry.
Lynxmotion has just released their new line of smart servo motors, intended to make smart servo technology accessible to all. So what are they all about, how do they work and how can they be used to create robots?
More and more people are starting to use what's called an "ESC" (Electronic Speed Controller) in robotic applications or DIY projects. These are low cost, readily available motor controllers that can drive brushed or brusless DC motors and most of the time are found in Radio Contro…
FMCW radar reports distances to multiple objects over a wide field of view.
Boston event is an opportunity to see leading roboticists and suppliers.
Robots aren't just for play and tinkering. While it's fun to put robot parts together, did you know that rescue operators and firefighters also rely on them to save lives? Professional and Service Robots are often used in hazardous environments because they can do things that h…
The Hall Effect Sensor is the sensor responsible for the tracking of the globe's position. It's what makes your Litter-Robot so intelligent.
For the modern American military, the new frontier of robotic warfare is here. Robots are widespread throughout the branches of the United States military, serving in all manner of key roles - and their usage and their importance to the mission of the services is only growing.
Self-driving cars are leading us on the road to a driverless future. How do they work? What effects will they have on the job market?
The National Robotics Week, also known as the RoboWeek, happens during the month of April and this year, it's its 10th anniversary! It promotes the importance and existence of robotics! During this event, RobotShop will offer discounts on all sorts of robotic products, su…
Machines that are coded with Artificial Intelligence (AI) mimic human actions and think like humans. Machine learning and AI capabilities have been quickly emerging in industrial robotics technology. In their journey to boost productivity, manufacturers intend to improve the rigid skills of trad…
YouTube is revolutionizing the way we consume audiovisual material! It's like the new television of the 21st century, a new educational destination online. It can be a big time waster but don’t get me wrong, it can be a powerful tool, especially when it comes to learning robotics, elec…
