NASA's next trip to the moon will explore its south pole, an area that gets even colder than Mars. So scientists need a robotic arm system that can function in temperatures as low as minus 280 F.

Researchers from Columbia Engineering have gone and done it, giving a robot arm some form of self-awareness – at least in a rudimentary sense, which allows it to better adapt to changing conditions.

In this video from terrible robot expert Simone Giertz, we get to see a $100,000 Kuka robot arm used to make holiday cards. In the past, Giertz has displayed her aptitude for making robots that ...

Robot self-awareness is one step closer today after engineers at Columbia University built a robotic arm that can imagine itself. The ability to recognise the self and imagine that self in ...

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed an autonomous robot arm that can figure out the best way to pick up food of any shape and bring it up to a user’s mouth, which should ...

To get the most mileage of out your robot, add the dimension of mobility by incorporating a linear seventh axis.

While robots that can engineer their own evolution might one day rise to the occasion to build something fearsome and menacing to humankind, this is not the robot to do it.

A control system helps robots quickly adjust to subtle changes in the way their operators move, which could improve safety in manufacturing settings.

NASA's next trip to the moon will explore its south pole, an area that gets even colder than Mars. So scientists need a robotic arm system that can function in temperatures as low as minus 280 F.
