Periodically during the year I reach a "burnout" phase where everything gets to be a struggle. With all that going on in the world and in my little corner of it, I've kinda hit a wall and was in need of some mindless diversion.

One of my goals for 2022 is to build a new AI robot project and to also upgrade a couple of existing robot projects (one has a K210 processor, so maybe just new firmware).
During the Black Friday sales last year, I bought myself an early Christm...

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...

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...
