Build your own Palm robot -- it's easy Researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute offer a do-it-yourself kit and online instructions -- in 15 steps, you've got a Palm Pilot robot.

Watch! Termite robots build structures with amazingly simple rules Human builders need to follow a blueprint, but these bio-inspired robots can build structures with just a few rules.

Robots are increasingly visible in everyday life. Factories and manufacturing facilities have used simple single-task robotic arms for decades to quickly ramp up production.

In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

It’s a tool from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) that aims to let people design, simulate, and then build simple robots with a “3D print, then fold ...

We decided to make a company dedicated to making building these custom robots as easy as playing with LEGO.” The modules are assembled and tested by HEBI’s eight-person staff.

In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

Simple robots, smart algorithms Date: April 29, 2021 Source: Georgia Institute of Technology Summary: Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm ...

PyRobot could simplify the way researchers program their machines, and could even make it easier for non-robotics types to jump into the field.
