Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of systems that can effectively tackle some real-world problems. Most of these robots, however, often perform poorly on tasks that they ...

Scientists have created a robot that can learn tasks like cleaning a washbasin just by watching humans. A special sponge with sensors is used to show the robot how to clean. Using an advanced machine ...

Now, a robotic arm has mastered the surprisingly complex task of sink washing, showing off its ability to learn. Cleaning a wash basin might not sound like the most advanced of tasks, but when you ...

Imagine a world where robots clean your home, beaches, and even public spaces. We're already well on our way there, but a new self-learning robotic arm developed by researchers at TU Wien in Austria ...

Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, learning about science and engineering can be a lot more fun if it’s practical. You could sit around learning about motors and control theory, or you could ...
