But a quieter shift is happening much closer to home. It is happening around your ankles, knees and hips. Wearable robotics are moving out of research labs and into everyday life. From powered shoes ...

Called HoloRadar, the system enables robots, autonomous vehicles to reconstruct three-dimensional scenes outside their direct line of sight.

Sensors placed on loose, everyday clothing can track human movement more accurately and with far less data than traditional tight wearables.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA is helping to improve absolute accuracy for robots.

With more humanoids entering the world, be ready to hit the red button. Here are some practical tips to regain control if ...

With just a transistor and sensor coil, a new DIY motor achieves continuous motion without complex external electronics.

Maia Hirsch, 24, was always more fascinated with scientific systems and robotics than imported silks and lambskin leather.

While it is fun to get toys that look like your favorite science fiction props, it is less fun when the electronics in them don’t measure up to the physical design. [Steve Gibbs] took a ...

When 12-year-old Matteo Mucchetti mapped out an amusement-style attraction that he wanted to create in his family’s basement and then showed it to his older brother Nico, the high-school sophomore was ...
