The Lego Mindstorms NXT Drawing Robot operates by using a combination of hardware and software. The hardware consists of the Lego Mindstorms NXT kit, which includes motors, sensors, and the NXT ...

A new medical robot created specifically to take blood samples outperformed human health-care professionals in a clinical trial.

Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform ...

Drawing robots like this for education are not new. [Seymour Papert] created one of the first turtle robots, seen at the left, in the 1980s.

The deep-learning algorithm calculates where sensors should be placed on a robot to help engineers design more effective machines.

New electromyography (EMG) sensor technology that allows the long-term stable control of wearable robots and is not affected by the wearer's sweat and dead skin has gained attention recently ...

It was very clever, but perhaps not something that could easily become a commercial product. The company's Scribit wall-drawing robot, however, is intended to be just that.

We’ve seen several types of specialized art robots before, capable of drawing portraits with a pen, painting them, or even using an Etch-a-Sketch, but [Joris] and [Felix]’s creation seems to ...

Robots could soon handle objects with the same dexterity as humans thanks to a flexible sensor skin developed by engineers from the University of Washington and UCLA.

An algorithm for environmental sensing could help sensor robots navigate the ocean in a more efficient way.

Robot sensor packages are becoming more dynamic, and that means some robots are becoming more human.
