To let users create additional functionality, ArcBotics is preparing programming samples and tutorials for controlling the robot's sensors and actuators.

The computer scientist Christoph Salge is trying to circumvent the need for rules that guide robots’ behavior. His strategy: Give them a goal of making us more powerful.

For robots to be predictable and adaptive, they need a priority-based architecture and a new legal model, argues a researcher ...

To create an intelligent robot, the team first needs to engineer body feedback systems, including adding more sensors in the arms to detect how much the limbs have extended or contracted.

Using a BBC micro:bit, motors and some sensors, here's how to make an autonomous robot that can roam around and avoid objects in its path ...

The Ganker kits don’t assemble quite as easy as Lego bricks do, but that’s because the robots are packed with servo motors, sensors, omni-directional wheels, and even tiny weapons that allow ...

It incorporates six littleBits -components, which are sold via the company's -website. Two bright LEDs and light sensors rigged to motors keep the robot moving along a line of black electrical tape.

But computers are blind, so autonomous cars must rely on other ways to perceive their surroundings. Lidar sensors, a laser form of radar, have emerged as a powerful way for robot cars to navigate.
