HandiMate, developed by researchers from Purdue and Indiana universities, lets children (or anyone else) build robots with cardboard, velcro, and other cheap, easily available materials.

A new cardboard-robotic toolkit allows children to create custom robots they control wirelessly with hand gestures without formal education in programming or electronics.

You’ve had a rough week. You deserve some time to relax, chill out, maybe watch a random person create a gaming PC made ...

Arduino enthusiasts or those learning about coding, programming and robotics may be interested in this new quadruped robot which has been created using just cardboard and a handful of electronic ...

The process [Dickel] follows is to prototype using cardboard first. Parts are then designed carefully in CAD, and printed out at a 1:1 scale and glued to sheets of polystyrene.

It builds on an existing app-driven cardboard robot platform and will come as a kit comprising cardboard parts and re-usable electronics, and leverages the video comms chops of a user's smartphone.

And that’s especially true if that cardboard can then be transformed into an articulated 20-inch tall robot like our friend here.

Thanks to its corrugated construction, the Cardboard Robot lets you command your own industrial-size claw or film crane for a fraction of the cost of a metal arm.
