Gupta wants to build affordable robots which the non-technical parent would enjoy as much as a young child. “Programming tends to be an abstract concept,” says Gupta. “The best way to make ...

Traditionally, programming a swift robot requires engineers to pre-emptively work out all the possible variables in the environment that could be a drag, such as friction.

Other programming-by-demonstration tools exist, but Demoshop is unique because users can dynamically edit and preview their robot demonstrations on the spot, adds Gopika Ajaykumar, a PhD student in ...
