Thanks to 3D printing and low cost components, it’s possible to quickly and easily experiment with a variety of robotics mechanism for various use cases. [Paul Gould] has been doing exactly this ...

High Torque Robotics’ Mini π is a 54cm (1.7 feet) high bipedal robot that can walk and dance with two legs. The robot ...

A robotic mechanism used in the fabrication of products. The basic component is an "automation cell," which comprises one or more robots, machine tools and the interfaces between them. The cell ...

The field of medical robotics has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, with advancements in precision engineering, artificial intelligen ...

Robotic tools are too big for ‘keyhole’ brain surgery – but a new miniature technology using magnets could change all that.

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children -- and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...
