Robots have been an integral part of the Japanese society, and there have been many robotic toys that are far more advanced than many devices meant for adults. The Murata Seiko-chan is a self-balancing robot unicyclist that was created in order to...
In what could prove to be a major breakthrough in the field of medicine, researchers have started working on a self-assembling-stomach-bot, which could help in diagnosing and treating a number of ailments. Scientists and researchers from Given...
Eight undergraduate students at the University of Waterloo, Canada are working on the world's smallest radio frequency controlled robot which, when completed, would measure only 300 microns by 300 microns. The robot can play soccer on a field that is...
We all know that Hello Kitty is synonymous with being cute, and now, they have teamed up with iRobot to bring us the first fully functioning Hello Kitty robot. The limited edition Hello Kitty robots are few in number and only 500 of these are going...
The Climbatron is an affordable robot that provides you all the entertainment you would need on a boring Sunday afternoon. The Climbatron, when stuck to a window pane, climbs up toward the top, and if the window pane is clean, it can reach the top....
Robotics has taken the world by storm and we may soon see robots becoming an essential part of many realms. We already have robots that can perform complex functions such as baby-sitting and nursing. We also know that it is predicted that robotic and...
Robots may soon be able to respond to human emotions appropriately and thus act more naturally even though they don't have any emotions. Robots would now take in behavioral cues and act accordingly, thanks to mirrors and certain other tracking...
If you like things that are interactive, you might like Double-Taker (Snout), which happens to be an interactive installation. Golan Levin designed the snout, which consists of an eight-foot long industrial robotic arm, and it deceptively looks similar...
In what could be seen as a major breakthrough, rat brain cells are being used to control a robot that could provide great insights into degenerative diseases such as Alzhiemer's. The robot uses about 300,000 rat neurons form the blob, which is...
In what could be seen, as a great development in the field of oceanography and volcanology, a new robot submarine will sample and catalogue life, gas, and sediments around the world's hottest undersea vents. Dr. Copley of National Oceanography...
Call them sci-fi robots, monsters, devils or ugly 'Star Wars' prisoners; Marque Cornblatt's artworks have capability to send shivers down the spine especially when display scary monsterosity through otherwise hi-tech devices. For example, metallic...
A 6-legged robot has been developed to rescue people from inaccessible places and is going to be used in rescue operations. The robotic spider has been developed by the Nanyang Polytechnic of Singapore and can squeeze through really narrow spaces and...
What was a dream is turning into reality. Researchers at the University of Leipzig have developed a software, which is designed for robots to help them 'learn' through trial and error. Apparently, the software mimics the way our brain works and...
Usually, to inspect drainpipes robots are used these days. Robots are especially required to inspect drainpipes with hazardous materials and the robots, also called 'pigs' are driven inside using gas pressure or by some other liquid and the robots...
