If you are thinking of building your very own desktop robot arm and were intrigued by the project published yesterday which took you through the process of creating a mini robotic arm using Arduino.

Industrial robots don’t come cheap—the top-end ones can cost more than $100,000 each. No surprise, then, that relatively few small companies own one, and even large companies haven’t adopted them at ...

Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...

Today’s deal in the HotHardware Shop is just plain cool. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to program an Arduino and also have an interest in robotics, the Makeblock Arduino Starter Robot Kit is 46% ...

We were doing our daily harvest of YouTube for fresh hacks when we stumbled on a video that eventually led us to this conversion of a 1980s Armatron robot to steam power. The video in question was of ...

Extreme cold is merciless on machinery. Fluids thicken to useless goo. Rubber seals stiffen and crack. The problems pile up as the temperature falls. Metal becomes brittle, and wires contract.

Engineers, developers, makers or hobbyists searching for an open source robotic platform may be interested in a new aluminium robot arm created by Chris Annin which takes the form of the AR2. The ...

Two researchers at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich have harnessed the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4o large language model to teach cheap robot arms to clean up spills. It’s a clever demonstration of how AI ...

Back when DARPA first announced its Autonomous Robotic Manipulation (ARM) program in 2010, the average cost of a military-grade robot hand was around US$50,000. That's expensive even by the US ...
