Learn about robotics principles, standards and the science involved, from simple kinematic transformations to reverse kinematics or advanced motion planning and control.
A robot can be defined as a means of automating operations normally performed by a human operator through direct interaction and coordination. It has a complex mechanical structure, with more degrees of freedom, and is controlled by flexible programming, while … Read more →
Living under one roof with an intelligent machine seems to come right out of a movie in which we all might perform in the years to come. We will be actors and spectators to changes that will be made through … Read more →
Wheeled robots can achieve greater speeds than any other types of mobile robots, are easy to build and generally easier to control. Despite the shortcomings on some types of terrain inherent to wheeled platforms, they are widely used almost everywhere … Read more →
By the term “machine” we understand an artificially manufactured object that interacts with its environment. For this interaction this object either takes energy from the environment and converts it into mechanical energy and dissipated heat or manipulates information. From a … Read more →
The history of prosthesis begins several hundred years ago, more precisely in the 1500’s when the first copies of human limbs were made using iron, steel, copper and wood. Robotic artificial limbs have as ancestors prosthetics which were used to … Read more →
Electrical power is the most common source of energy in mobile robotics. Electrical power systems are cheap, practical, easy to implement and can be used in any environment – even indoors, as no pollution takes place locally. However electricity is … Read more →
If you’re passionate about Robotics and have always wanted to build your own mobile robot, this might be a good starting point. From physically building the robot platform, to setting up, programming and hardware or software fine tuning, while not … Read more →
