Get the heartbeat of the robotic industry by learning about events, new developments in private companies, government projects and more.
It seems to me that this article is full of handwaving, but here goes - apparently, a doctor of Mechanical Engineering in the UK has come up with a self replicating rapid prototype machine, you know, the ones that can create anything by building up layers of plastic? His plans are to eventually mar…
Well, this is by far one of the more interesting robot sensing devices I've seen in a while. It's like your standard bump sensor whiskers on steroids. A group of researchers from schools that I can't pronounce have come up with the ultimate robot whiskers solution - a motor spins the whisker in a…
I have to say, the art of Arthur Ganson is some of the most amazing stuff I've seen in a long time. " Self-described as a cross between a mechanical engineer and a choreographer, Ganson creates contraptions composed of a range of materials from delicate wire to…
Yet another article about US FIRST. Dale at RobotHaven posted a nice round up of Sourceforge.net related robotics projects. It looks like the folks from Whitebox Robotics have started a company blog. First post entitled "The White Box Robotics PC-BOT Manifesto". Oh, and they've also upd…
Today I went to Atmel's 2005 Microcontroller Seminar series in my lovely homeown. I usually like to attend these because 1) they give away cool stuff and 2) there is usually a good lunch involved. This time 'round I didn't win anything, but the lunch was good. They gave out their (now) standard …
