Cable cars are certainly handy for transporting cargo up steep mountain slopes, but what if you want to do the same sort of thing on a much smaller scale? Well, you could try using a tiny new ...

This novel system features a slit-like elliptical aperture and a patterned metal reflector to improve object detection and recognition in various lighting conditions. The design effectively reduces ...

If you ever built a line following robot, you’ll be nostalgic about [Jeremy’s] light-seeking robot. It is a very simple build since there is no CPU and, therefore, also no software. The trick, of ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a system that allows humans to collaborate with groups of robots to create visual art inspired by music. The platform combines swarm robotics, ...

Proximity: Sensors that tell the robot if something is close by. Lidar/Radar: These use light or radio waves to measure ...
