The researchers at Stanford University have created an Artificial Skin that is able to sense touch and pressure and very flexible which can be used for almost indefinitely. It can sense a wide range of pressures, the team reported. The material has a lot of applications, including robotics, prostethics, smartphones. To read more, visit IEEE.org here.     Read More

It is amazing what can be done with what so many considers just a toy kit… People have managed to make a rubik cube solver out of lego mindstorms, which gained the new word record for solving a rubik’s cube. To add to the coolness of the robot, it is controlled only by a Samsung Galaxy phone! 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

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
