Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

This video shows how to build a robot using simple high school math, breaking down complex ideas into clear, practical steps.

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed 'dumb robots' can abruptly gather in large ...

This simple robot, which responds to light and avoids obstacles, can be built without using a microcontroller, programmer or PC. The only ‘special’ component in the circuit is a window discriminator ...

It's long been possible to make extremely small robots, but they usually need some form of direct external control just to operate. Cornell scientists may have solved that problem on a basic level, ...

In what might be one of the most underappreciated technological breakthroughs of our time, Alphabet's Google DeepMind has accomplished something deceptively difficult -- teaching a robot to tie ...

Despite fears that robots will conquer the world, they currently, with a few exceptions, often have problems with basic tasks such as opening doors or climbing stairs. Now, in a new study appearing ...
