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 [...]
Swarmanoid
We previously posted about this project in 2007 in a post called Eye-bot, and boy has a lot happened since then. Swarmanoid is a research collaboration between various European agencies like the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) and is funded by the European Commission. The latest Swarmanoid video just won an award from the AAAI [...]
Wave Glider
Wave Glider is a self sufficient robot that can be used to monitor the ocean. Made by Liquid Robotics, the robot has 2 main parts. One part floats on the surface of the ocean and the second part is attached and floats underwater. The floating part is Float: 208 cm x 60 cm while the [...]
Slapshot Robot
We interrupt your regularly scheduled Stanley Cup playoffs with the Bruins and the Canucks. Students and a professor from the University of Waterloo in Canada have developed a robot that does one thing, shoot hockey pucks with a stick. The idea behind this is to study how the stick bends and build a better hockey [...]
Robotic Airship
Check out this airship from 2007 that was created by students at the University of Adelaide. See the project poster here (pdf). The airship was designed for aerial photography, advertising and to have a flight time of 30 minutes with a payload of up to 500g . See other fun projects from the University of [...]
