Light in comparison moves at a whopping ... Hackerspace in Geneva got their hands on this sensor, and in a short time had a ball balancing robot up and running. The crude program is not running ...

But given the emergence of therapeutic robots (like cute yellow Keepon, or the robotic baby seal, Paro) maybe this all makes sense. Interestingly the sensor is based on optics: “Light comes in ...

Researchers at USC's Viterbi School of Engineering have developed a robot capable of identifying materials, thanks to a tactile sensor. The so-called BioTac sensor mimics the human finger ...

Abstract: A robot based 3D laser scanning system which a structured light vision sensor is mounted on the 6 degree-of-freedom robot is proposed to overcome the disadvantages of coordinate measuring ...

Additionally, the robot has the capacity to traverse surfaces like concrete or compacted soil and can carry equipment three times its own weight, such as a camera or sensors. By utilizing a light ...

RoboSim is a set of hardware and software designed to enable simulation of mechanical hardware on a robot designed for the First Robotics Competition. The goal is to enable mentors and students to ...
