This family-friendly humanoid robot designed by Aldebaran Robotics is also a multi-functional robot with features including microphones, HD cameras, Wi-Fi connectivity, Hi-Fi speakers, pressure sensors, a voice synthesizer and much more. It has made appearances at events including the Shanghai Expo in China with a synchronized dance routine, at Robocup participating with its own football team, in the UK teaching autistic children, and even demonstrating a stand-up comedy routine in December 2011.

This robot created by artist and researcher, Patrick Tresset, is a sketcher shaped like an arm that is able to draw portraits of people. It was primarily designed for Tresset’s “New Work” gallery installation which occurred in London in 2011.

Another robot by Aldebaran Robotics, this emotional humanoid bot is designed to be able to assess moods, and interact with humans. It is able to shake hands, dance and display messages on the display screen on it’s chest. Read more at http://realitypod.com/2014/10/the-top-five-mind-blowing-robots-of-2014/#HQIHMayVl2ASCduX.99.
is composed of two snake-like machines that attach via magnets to a UAV. After being carried to the site by the quadcopter, snake bots can detach themselves, slip through the holes and cracks of a collapsed building, for instance, and slither to their destinations.
It was inevitable that funding for these projects by the US Military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) would lead to spin-offs finding their way into private startups. There are now at least another three companies developing exoskeletons for commercial use and the focus is on creating them to help people with spinal injuries. A Swedish company, Ekso Bionics, makes a 20kg titanium and aluminium suit that costs $100,000 a pop, which has helped several crippled individuals walk again for the first time.
I love listening to music when I study but I hate having tolook up to the screen to change or choose a song so I decided I’d get me a little scroll J.
This tool was developed with the idea to provide alternative forms of recycling PET bottles, which are found all over the world, and often not taken advantage of for post-consumer opportunities. The stripper is intended for use by people in low-income communities as a means to create products using ...
As I started trying to use this sensor, I had some difficulties whilst setting it up.The whole problem arises when you start to convert the analog voltage into distance. As you may or may not know, the sensor produces an output in analog voltage, that is then, read by the Arduino, converted into an ...
How to make a really basic microphone out of a matchbox and pencil graphite. This simple electronics experiment demonstrates how a microphone works and the science behind it. We'll explore the fundamental principles of a microphone and build our own working model. Background A microphone is a de...
Here is an example how to build Arduino clock which is syncronized with the time of given HTTP server in the net. My plan was to build simplest possible internet time syncronized clock. I decided to synchronize my Arduino clock with my Wlan router's time, the router itself is synchronized to the net...
Electroninks shows us how to create AND Gate logic using CircuitScribe. I’d like to add to this with an Instructable replicating my favorite logic – NAND gates. These are by far my favorite logic circuits, simply for the fact that with enough NAND gates you can replicate any basic logic.All the part...
This Instructable uses Circuit Scribe modules and conductive ink to create a simple light theremin. Materials Needed:Circuit Scribe buzzer Circuit Scribe light sensor Circuit Scribe power module + 9V battery Steel sheet Paper Conductive ink Circuit Scribe footprint template Step 1: Plan your circu...
