Their build is a small robotic platform that they assembled for their ECE5730 final project. The tiny wheeled robot is programmed to rotate on the spot until its infrared sensors pick up a signal.

Sphero has announced another rolling ball robot called the Sphero BOLT. The Sphero BOLT follows in the company’s ethos of having a commitment to education-based products, but comes with some ...

Force/torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robot systems used for assembly, test, and other applications. Sensor systems help robots verify part insertion, apply a constant force during ...

Different models may include additional sensors (such as a dust scanner to see how much dust is being picked up), but those are the basic sensors that all robotic vacuums include. The path of the ...

Now, researchers at MIT and Northeastern University have incorporated it into an ultra-sensitive tactile sensor for robots. Three years ago, we first heard about GelSight – an experimental new ...

The eMotionButterflies, on the other hand, are robotic Lepidopterans that can fly pre-programmed routes inside spaces mounted with infrared cameras that serve as their GPS system.
