Kim Ingraham, ME PhD Student and member of the Neurobionics Lab, runs tests on an open-source robotic leg with Dawn Jordan Musil in the G. G. Brown Building on May 28, 2019.
The project is provides a robust and relatively inexpensive system that can be easily manufactured, assembled, and controlled by other researchers, aiming to expand the research field and its knowledge base.

I think the hardware is pretty much all assembled now! The batteries went together today and now connect up to everything, although I may mount them a bit more permanently in the future. The buzzer's held on with tape but it's light weight and protected by the case; everything else is bolted on.
This robot will use its camera to track the user, following them around and taking photos to store to the SD card. The software's progressing nicely enough - at the moment I can clearly see what's on the screen, but it's only a small fraction of the total image and the colours are not yet accurate. The chip doesn't have enough RAM to hold the entire image on the screen at once unfortunately, but I should be able to process each line before the next one comes in.
The robot uses an ARM Cortex-M3 STM32F103VBT6 microprocessor with a TCM8230MD camera from SparkFun, an OLED screen module on the back (also from SparkFun) with a navigation switch, modified servos for motors, various voltage regulators for the camera and main circuitry, a ball bearing caster on the bottom, a piezo buzzer to make it beep at you, three 1100mAh lithium polymer batteries (one for the main systems and two in series for the servos), PCBs made by Golden Phoenix in China and some standard power LEDs as headlights.
We have an ancient mound in our local park with steep grassy sides, and I often wondered how they managed to keep it mown. Well, the other day I saw how! A man with a remote control, guiding a robot mower. Note its caterpillar tracks for a better grip. I want one!
My little guy is turning 2 at the end of the month...

“What message does the other side take from this? They see it as cowardice.”
In the opening session of TED, P.W. Singer’s tales of the thousands of robots fighting in Iraq syncopated to the surreal images behind him (video).
Drone pilots are fighting in Iraq from the comfort of middle-America. After a day of fighting, they drive home to have dinner with their children. The incidence of PTSD is higher among them than the average war fighter.
One in a series of World of Tomorrow cigarette cards produced by W.D.& H.O. Wills featuring futuristic machines and processes. Will leave you to decide if the Mitchell's Cigarette Card view of the future has come true or not...
Many of the 50 cards in this series were designed/illustrated by Vienna born Frank R. Paul, an illustrator of American science fiction pulp magazines.

Pattern no 4 from my second book.
A robot cell phone case. Made to fit your model and the embroidered to your taste. It's a cute one! ^^
I built this transforming cube months ago, after I've seen the first pics of the black cubes from the Lego Movie. I didn't manage in this first trial to attach all the plates on the robot, one is the base. It works good but my first idea was an eight-faces transforming cube. Next time!!
Esperando mas de 30 minutos para cargar bencina, me imaginé a un robot que nos estaba acompañando....
Robot One is the first robot my friend and I have put together.
It's got an Arduino + Protoboard tucked into its guts, a Sharp IR sensor atop a servo, an ultrasonic sensor at the front and two modified servos for wheels. There's a 4xAA battery box holding 4 rechargable NiMH batteries, taped underneath.
The chassis base is cardboard from a Farnell box, the main fastener is red PVC tape.
Right now, it is capable of driving forwards, and turning around when it detects something is a few centimeters ahead of it - the IR sensor is not yet used, though it is wired up.
Improvements (coming soon!): Chassis out of black high-impact polystyrene, fasteners out of screws, geared motors for control, dedicated PCB or at least Arduino shield for microcontroller control.
A Sandia researcher demonstrates the capabilities of the robot affectionately known as the M2, for Mighty Mouse. The 600-pound, five-foot-long robot, which rolls on treads, can maneuver around obstacles, and has a long, multi-jointed gripper arm with the dexterity to reach into awkward places and apply force to drills and screwdrivers.

It is our "robot self" that goes along each day; that buys into the lies of the past portrayed as great truths. We need to pull away,become unrooted...

Sandia is developing energy efficient actuation and drive train technologies to dramatically improve the charge life of legged robots. The work is supported by DARPA, and Sandia will demonstrate an energy efficient bipedal robot at the technology exposition section of the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals in June, 2015.
WANDERER, for Walking Anthropomorphic Novelly Driven Efficient Robot for Emergency Response, the second robot Sandia is developing in support of the DARPA Challenge, is a more optimized and better-packaged prototype.
