In University of Texas, a new type of artificial muscle has been created, which is a lot more flexible and able to create much more torsion in comparison to the ones developed before. The muscles are able to produce about the same amount of torque as a regular electric motor. This means a lot of applications in commercial field, especially in robotics of course. To […] Read More

I-Cub, one of the most advanced robots in the world has just been nominated to carry the Olympic Torch in London next year. The robot has been nominated through Lloyds TSB, one of the presenting partners of the Olympic Games. The I-Cub robot differs from the other robots that its builders aim it to learn through its experiences. You can find an in depth review of […] Read More

This video shows fun moments from the famous Big Dog robot testing. Boston Dynamics, maker of Big Dog says that the first prototype is coming out of the lab around summer of 2012. Read More

Manufactured by Aldebaran Robotics of France, Nao Humanoid Robot has been widely used in robot competitions as well as by research institutions. The 23 inch high robot has sensors such as cameras, sonars, accelerometers, microphones, which enables it to do amazingly human movements. Now its makers gave it the ability to autonomously find its recharge station, plug itself to the outlet, wait for recharge, and […] Read More

Researchers at Harward University have demonstrated an insect robot achieving autonomous flight using closed loop control in vertical axis. They think that this approach can be used to enable autonomous flight on all 3 axis. A closed loop system is a control mechanism that uses feedback to control states or outputs of a dynamical system. To design a fully autonomous robot, even though in just […] Read More

As the use of robots in battlefields grows continuously, the problem of managing an ever growing quantity of information becomes more and more critical. In order to use the resources efficiently, the goal is to enable a single soldier to manage more and more robots and robotic vehicles at the same time. Currently it looks like there are several options to achieve this goal. One […] Read More
