Hello,The main purpose of this post is to break the long silence in the Robotics Section of the element14 and also a bit of showing off my progress on my personal learning experience. Please let me know what you think and if you like these kinds...
This blog post describes improvements and additional features for the Open Source Outdoor Robot platform JECCbot mini which was introduced here: Open Source Outdoor Robot platform JECCbot mini Battery adapter for Einhell Power X-ChangeFor the n...
I’ve written several times in recent months about how research into nanobots for use in medicine is exploding, and new discoveries are paving the way to a future where we combat disease, viruses, and cancers at their source. New research from MIT cou...
When I first viewed the video of the scientist at Boston Robotics pushing and kicking their humanoid robot around, my first thoughts were that this video would one day be used to justify the robotic revolution that enslaves humanity, but then I remem...
The field of soft robotics is growing at an exponential rate, and new discoveries in electrical engineering and material sciences are fueling this growth. Recently, a team of scientist from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have published a ...
A team of researchers a the University of Toronto have unveiled a new electrothermally controlled soft robot that they say could one day change the way humans and robots interact in the manufacturing environment. The team, led by Professor Hani Nagui...
Imagine sitting on a park bench and watching a butterfly, whos perched on a nearby bush, open and close its wings in the sunlight, but the more you pay attention, the more you realize that the butterfly is not real, and is instead a small robot. This...
www.youtube.com/watchI’m willing to bet that many of you reading this article have at least attempted to solve a Rubik’s cube before, and I bet that many of you have succeeded, but have you tried it with only one hand, and did you do it in 20-minutes...
Teaching robots how to handle, manipulate, and transport various objects is key to advancing automation technology, and one way to teach robots how to better move objects is to create a large dataset that can be used to train a robot how to respond t...

With soft robotics and wearables becoming an increasingly competitive field, researchers are scrambling to discover new materials that will push the technology to the next level. One major hurdle that has to be overcome is how to create a material th...
The world of soft robotics and wearables is experiencing a technological boom right now with new advancements being made in stretchable and flexible lithium-ion batteries (insert links), thin printable circuits, and even printable photovoltaics. Now ...
We have all see the videos of the intriguing yet somewhat frightening performance of Boston Dynamics’ humanoid “Atlas” robot running and jumping on top of boxes in dimly lit warehouses, but researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineer...
I seen this posted by VMWare on LinkedIn of all places and it is a beautiful example of mixing Art, AI and Robots and Human-Robot Collaboration to create an amazing Art display. The interview with Artist and Researcher Sougwen Chung is part of ...
Traditionally if you wanted a robot to be able to move about in a controlled manner, you would build a drivetrain of some sort that comprised of very specific parts that were designed to do a very specific task. As robots continue to get smaller and ...
Small robots are beginning to play major roles in medicine, and there is clear evidence that nano-robots will play an even larger role, but researchers are still working out how to fabricate and automate those tiny robots. Recently, engineers from MI...
Cockroaches are one of the most polarizing insects on earth. On one hand, many people consider them to be disgusting, disease-carrying bugs that crawl in the shadows and feast on garbage, but others view them as nature's great survival experts that c...
I was at a recent local Robotics Event and someone there said she had seen the TI-RSLK that I had on display at last years Mini Maker Faire in Rocklin, CA and it apparently inspired her to purchase one to teach the kids she works with for STEM educat...
The National Robotics Week for 2019 will be held from April 6th to the 14th with events across all 50 States of the US.https://www.nationalroboticsweek.org/ From the Site;The Purpose of National Robotics WeekCelebrate the U.S. as a leader in rob...
I had worked out how to control my Marty with Scratch. But you quickly run out of dance routines to make it do. For more interesting programs, you need some input. When you assemble your Marty it doesn't have any sensors connected to it. But the...
In a previous post I showed how to assemble the Marty robot. At the end of that you could control Marty using your phone, but now I wanted to do something more creative. An easy way to program is using Scratch, which is a block based programming...
The other month I received a "Marty the Robot" kit in the mail from Element 14 for me to write some projects for (provided at no charge). I've done some previous posts here about using the micro:bit in education and am interested in see...
There has been a long history of Animations and Robots in movies but to see movies made specifically featuring Robots is quite interesting. On top of that, there is even a Film Festival for such films which I was not aware of. http://rosf...
