Want to get a robot for your home? Get some inspiration on how you can use robots to make your life more enjoyable.
From bots working in the fields to ones in our homes, 2020 will see a massive uptake in robots. While job-specific machines will keep increasing, the focus will be on home robots.
Optical distance sensors are the culmination of decades of research and development (R&D) in the field of optoelectronics. This subset of photonics is concerned with the application of electronic devices that detect, emit, and modulate light to accomplish an extremely diverse range of functi…
There is now a huge array of technological solutions available for almost any conceivable purpose. Consumers are willing to spend big bucks on technology to make their lives easier, and it is no surprise that this includes the care of our beloved pets.
A new API update to the OPS243 radar sensor enables a power savings hibernate mode. It provides the ability to bring average power consumption down under 200mW. At this low level, the radar sensor can be combined with a battery to provide remote detection where power is not available…
This tutorial explains in an easy and intuitive way to help you understand the theory, design and implementation to make your own generator and sensor for a perimeter wire. The files (Schematics, Eagle Files, Gerbers, 3D Files and Arduino Sample Code) are also available for download. This way, y…
Hi there, You just received the new Litter-Robot Upgrade Connect Kit and want to install it yourself? Great, let's get started. This guide is the most up to date one and features the new DFI and circuit board.
Let’s face it; the future is here with us thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is undergoing rapid evolution, and this has attracted multiple questions concerning its future. Notably, most industries in the world, including digital marketing industries, will benefit from this paradig…
Welcome to the third installment in our monthly series, What's Trending in Robotics News! We will cover all the breaking news, hot issues, trending stories, and cool stuff that is happening - or has happened - in the robotics industry. Let's see what caught our attention this month.
Simple setup enables a 2D radar to trigger a camera to capture an image of an approaching object (animal, person, vehicle).
There are some obvious benefits offered by companion robots. The concept of a fully-functioning, life-size robot is still one that's not readily available to the public, but it's something that many believe will be commonplace in homes in the future. Keep reading to learn more.
Once upon a time, transportation robots sounded like science fiction, but today, they are a reality. From segway robots to robot scooters, these super-smart devices can transport people from Point A to Point B, just like conventional vehicles can. There's huge scope for robotics in the trans…
Hospitality robots present the opportunity to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and showcase new technology to a growing customer base. But is the general public ready to embrace machines in customer service? The answer – at least in many cases – appears to be yes.
If you always wanted to learn more about the art of animatronics, you're in luck. Steve Koci, a master in the field, wrote a book based on a series of articles he wrote for SERVO magazine, The Ultimate Guide to DIY Animatronics. What can you expect from his book? Here is my review!…
The sci-fi inspired cyborg is almost the opposite of the direction that today's technology is moving. Wearable robotics don't replace human elements, they enhance. The wearable robotics ideal is systems that fit comfortably under clothes and provide the needed support to reduce physical …
Radar uses simple detection filtering to count people, vehicles, or other objects.
Here is a list of the best domestic robots you could have at home.
