Let’s face it, robots are cool. They’re also going to run the world some day, and hopefully, at that time they will take pity on their poor soft fleshy creators (a.k.a. robotics developers) and help ...

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is rapidly emerging as a significant interdisciplinary research area that focuses on developing robotic technologies and interfaces that enable robots to ...

Introduction to Robotics describes the basics of industrial robotics, including types, applications, and programming methods. Industrial robots are reprogrammable machines that can perform repetitive ...

At MIT, computer science engineers are teaching robots how to think like human beings, both to problem-solve and transfer their knowledge to other robots. At MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial ...

Tanay Choudhary (MSR '16) talks about his role at Vecna Robotics and how Northwestern's Master of Science in Robotics program prepared him for where he is today. Tanay Choudhary (MSR '16) is a ...

Robot Sensors is an overview of common sensors used with robots, their functions, and their applications. Sensors provide robots with an awareness of their environment and the ability to execute tasks ...

A new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be ...

Researchers have developed miniature magnetic robots that mimic fish behavior, working together as coordinated swarms to ...
