Robotic Spider
German firm Fraunhofer has created a robotic spider for hazardous missions using 3D printing. Spiders are very agile, and some can even jump. They owe this capability to their hydraulically operated limbs. Researchers have now designed a mobile robot modeled on the same principle that moves spider legs. Created using a 3-D printing process, this [...]
Robot To Scribe Bible
A trio of artists from Germany called Robotlab have created a robot that will write out the entire bible. The artists hope to bring this project to the Cathedral of Trier, Germany’s oldest cathedral. Using a piece of paper 63 inches wide and a mile long, this re-purposed KR16 industrial robot will write out the [...]
ASGUARD
This cool robot comes to us from the Robotics Innovation Center at the University of Bremen in Germany. ASGUARD stands for Advanced Security GUARD and is designed to be a first responder in search and rescue type operations over a variety of terrain. ASGUARD was also developed to have the best of wheeled and legged [...]
MuCAR-3
A group of researchers from University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UBM) showed off their MuCAR-3 last week at the European Land Robot Trial or ELROB held in Germany. MuCAR-3 stands for Munich Cognitive Autonomous Robot Cars and is the third version of the car. The main idea here is for MuCAR-3 to automatically follow a [...]
