Robotics projects are always a favorite for hackers. Being able to almost literally bring your project to life evokes a special kind of joy that really drives our wildest imaginations. We imagine this ...

Homogeneous vector and plane, homogeneous transformation, position and orientation transformations, kinematics and inverse kinematic solutions of robot manipulators and mobile robots, Jacobian and ...

Normally when you hear the words “rope” and “dog” in the same sentence, you think about a dog on a leash, but in this robot dog, the rope is what makes it move, not what stops it from going too far.

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

Redundant manipulators, endowed with more degrees of freedom than minimally required, offer enhanced flexibility and adaptability in achieving complex end-effector tasks. The inverse kinematics (IK) ...

Legged robot kits aren't anything new, but unlike its competition, the T8 octopod comes with a disturbingly realistic 3D-printed exoskeleton that is sure to make an unforgettable first impression.

In the Robotics and Automation Lab there are two standout pieces of hardware, our PLC rigs, and Mover6 robots. Each of which allows us to explore how we design, test and build autonomous and automated ...
