Mobility through balancing on spherical wheels has recently received some attention in the robotics literature. Unlike traditional wheeled platforms, the operation of such platforms depends heavily on ...

The ESP-ROLL is a small, home-built spherical robot that rolls inside a transparent ornament ball - great for entertaining pets, exploring under furniture, or showing off to friends. It glides across ...

As robots undertake increasingly complex tasks, such as real-time visible image sensing, environmental analysis, and weather monitoring under harsh conditions, design of an appropriate robot shell has ...

Mobile robots carrying sensors and 3D systems are increasingly used to scan facilities and collect data that can be used to build 3D models of the site. “One of the very urgent objectives right now ...

Researchers have developed a new model that trains four-legged robots to see more clearly in 3D. The advance enabled a robot to autonomously cross challenging terrain with ease -- including stairs ...
