Like making your own electronic devices, or a robot? Then, you might be pleased to meet Mimbo over here, the robot which mimics your emotions.  This “serious” looking robot over here, is only looking serious cause the person standing in front of it is pretending to be serious. Like robots and can’t afford those high-cost robots? Then this one is surely for you. His face is composed... 

With automation being the hottest of the fields undergoing rapid advancements, the need for human labor is declining day by day. Automation has hit every industry and architecture is not an exception. This interesting news article is not about cranes getting more advanced but something much more than that. FRAC center in Orleans, France has witnessed two flying machine building up an architecture... 

“Helpful Robots”— they aren’t exactly a new concept. After all we have a slew of home-robots designed to aid with household chores, most of which are Japanese-made. While more recently the robots coming out of Japan have been pretty bizarre to say at the very least — there’s a French kiss simulator robot on the market and a miniature robot designed to successfully complete... 

Controlling Robots through gesture based commands is now a reality!! Folks from the The Flying Machine Arena at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control ETH Zurich have successfully controlled a quadrocopter robot with gestures using Microsoft Kinect. The flying robot is controlled by a puppeteer who waves his hands to give commands. The right hand is used to control the movements, while left... 

Researches have come up with a new way to make the robots feel, by using hexagonal plates on the outer body of the robots that will enable them to have the sense of feel just like humans. This will allow robots to better navigate and interact with their environments. This is the outcome of the research carried in Technical University Munich (TUM) by a group of researchers who were working on extending...

Ranger, a bipedal robot built by engineers at Cornell’s University sets a new world record by walking 40.5 miles on a single battery charge without stopping. The previous record was 14.3 miles, set by the same r0bot last year. Ranger set the record last week after completing 308 laps around university’s Barton Hall running track — took 30 hours, 49 minutes and 2 seconds of nonstop... 

Check out this amazing quadrocopter tennis match hosted by Zurich’s Flying Machine Arena. The robots were outfitted with tennis rackets, allowing them to fly toward the ball and return a human’s serve. The experiment is part of ETH Zurich’s ongoing project to examine adaptive high-performance maneuvers. Another competitor to challenge Roger Federer’s domination? Note:... 

Engineers from National Chiao-Tung University of Taiwan have built a robotic arm dressed in furry seal outfit for throwing a ball into a basket. The percentage of successful ball-throwing was found to be approximately 99%. “A stereo vision system is used to measure the position of the target in 3D space.The ball-throwing transformation between the input command of the robot system and the... 

The world’s first ever robot marathon kicked off  in the Japanese city of Osaka on Thursday, organized by local authorities and a local robotics firm. The toy-sized two-legged robots have to complete 42.195 kilometres or 26 miles in a period of 4 days. All robot participants will have to circle a 100-meter indoor track about 422 times in order to complete the race. Robot Operators are allowed...
