After removing the Lidar sensor from my robotic vacuum cleaner, my curiosity was around how this remarkable device operates. My goal was to understand the interface protocol and the inner workings of the sensor. To achieve this, I aimed to write a simple Python script to decode and plot the| Small World
Boston Dynamics’ dog-like Spot robot can now be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world thanks to a partnership with cloud-based software platform Rocos. To demonstrate its new capabilities the US team remotely monitored the robot working on an isolated farm in New Zealand.| New Atlas
Boston Dynamics’ Spot robots are eye-catching machines with some very useful capabilities – beyond just towing trucks and twerking. The versatility of these four-legged robotic dogs has seen them find use on farms in New Zealand and oil rigs in Norway, and now Ford is getting in on the act by…| New Atlas
For years we have witnessed Boston Dynamics develop increasingly sophisticated robots, and while they are undoubtedly impressive engineering marvels, the question of what could they be used for was often raised. Now, the company has revealed its Spot robot is being deployed in hospitals to protect…| New Atlas

Chinese company Unitree has opened pre-orders on its second-gen robot dog companion. The Go2 can follow you around at jogging speeds, perform some wild gymnastic feats, and even talk to you through a GPT-enabled system that writes code on the fly.| New Atlas
The global robotics market is projected to reach USD 178.7 Billion by 2033. The complexity of creating intelligent machines is growing exponentially, including the new emerging field of embodied AI. Developers face the daunting task of integrating sensors, actuators, navigation, manipulation, and machine intelligence into a cohesive system. Building these intricate software stacks from the […]| Shawn Hymel
It was a couple of years ago that we first heard about the ANYmal, a quadruped robot developed by ETH Zurich spin-off ANYbotics. Now, the Swiss company has announced its new-and-improved ANYmal C.| New Atlas

Nous poursuivons donc notre découverte du genre de la science-fiction par le biais de l'auteur : Eric Simard avec un texte bref et épuré : Roby ne pleure jamais, toujours aux éditions Syros Junior.| Depuis le cadre de ma fenêtre
Récemment, j’ai lu en classe Robot mais pas trop d’Éric Simard, un petit roman de science-fiction publié dans la collection Mini Syros Soon. L’expérience a été marquante tant pour les élèves que pour moi, non pas en raison d’un contenu spectaculaire, mais parce qu’elle a révélé certains manques, certaines limites, et aussi certaines possibilités insoupçonnées.| Depuis le cadre de ma fenêtre
Let's be honest: vacuuming is not the bulk of the work. Vacuuming is a victory lap that can only be performed after somebody's gone around picking up all the junk off the floor – a task that Roborock's flagship Saros Z70 is starting to take over.| New Atlas
I’ve read this book a few times, but honestly the Foundation TV series has left me with a new enthusiasm to re-read some Asimov stuff. I have previously read the entire extended multi-author series, and honestly a fair few of them sucked — especially the ones by other authors — so this time I have the luxury of being a bit more picky. Worse, Asimov remixed the robot stories several times into various volumes, and it can be quite confusing. The Complete Robot contains all the robot stor...| Made by Mikal
You've seen a ton of videos of humanoid robots – but this one feels different. It's Sanctuary's Phoenix bot, with "the world's best robot hands," working totally autonomously at near-human speeds – much faster than Tesla's or Figure's robots.| New Atlas

Presentation is always important — even in the maker community. Nice photos and videos get people in the door and technical achievements keep them around. But recording nice videos can be difficult, which is why Cameron Coward developed this robot, called CamRo, to do the work for him. CamRo is a portmanteau of “camera” and […]| Arduino Blog

A vehicle’s wheel diameter has a dramatic effect on several aspects of performance. The most obvious is gearing, with larger wheels increasing the ultimate gear ratio — though transmission and transfer case gearing can counteract that. But wheel size also affects mobility over terrain, which is why Gourav Moger and Huseyin Atakan Varol’s prototype mobile […]| Arduino Blog
