We’ve written about a lot of DIY robotic arms. Some of them are high-performance, some are inexpensive, and some are just uniquely fun. This one certainly falls into the last category; whilst watching ...

A new gesture controlled robotic arm has been created using a little Arduino hardware together with a Microsoft Kinect sensor the skills of a team of makers. Details and instructions on how the Kinect ...

We’ve all seen videos of blisteringly fast SCARA arms working on assembly lines, and more than a few of us have fantasied about having that same kind of technology for the home shop. Unfortunately, ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have designed a new robot arm that could be the low cost and easy to use the robotic device of the future. The team calls the robot arm Mantis, and it was ...

He was able to grasp, move, and release objects simply by imagining himself performing the actions. The device, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), functioned successfully for a record seven ...

People can learn to control a robotic third arm using their eyes and chest muscles. Such extra limbs could become essential tools for surgeons or people working in industrial jobs, say researchers.

Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined actions of large populations of widely tuned neurons rather than by small numbers of highly tuned ...

According to a recent study published in Advanced Intelligent Systems, the brain can adapt to an artificial third arm and use it for simple tasks. This keeps alive the dream of precision mechanics and ...
