If you are thinking of building your very own desktop robot arm and were intrigued by the project published yesterday which took you through the process of creating a mini robotic arm using Arduino.

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

What if your childhood Tamagotchi could step off the screen and into the real world? Imagine a tiny robot, complete with blinking eyes and lifelike movements, responding to your voice and following ...

Lockpicking is more of an art than a science: it’s probably 10% knowledge and 90% feeling. Only practice will teach you how much torque to apply to the cylinder, how to sense when you’ve pushed a pin ...

Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

Engineers have developed a new design strategy and 3D printing technique to build robots in one single step. The breakthrough enabled the entire mechanical and electronic systems needed to operate a ...

And while 3D printing technology has gotten much more accessible and sophisticated, other applications of automation, by comparison, seem stuck in their ways. Take, for example, a modern assembly line ...

Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...
