With Quipt Software, Robots can be Programmed without Coding Knowledge

With Quipt Software, Robots can be Programmed without Coding Knowledge

Mar 2, 2016 @ 17:20 Madeline Gannon, a Ph.D. candidate in Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Architecture, has invented new method to interact and program the robot. Gannon designed an open-source software, Quipt that turns a human’s motions into instructions for a robot. With Quipt, now programming of robots is not just for those with years […]

Artificial Skin Sensors made from Sticky Notes

Artificial Skin Sensors made from Sticky Notes

Feb 23, 2016 @ 14:32 | A paper-based sensor that mimics the sensory functions of human skin has been developed for the first time from low-cost and commonly available household materials. Everyday materials from the kitchen drawer, such as aluminum foil, sticky note paper, sponges and tape, have been used by a team of electrical […]

Skin-like Sensor: Robots may get Human like Sensitive Skin

Skin-like Sensor: Robots may get Human like Sensitive Skin

23 August 2015 | Robots do not have look like human but also soon they may get the human like sensitive skin. Researchers say they have developed a skin-like sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and pain simultaneously, and more accurately than currently existing devices. Human skin is a complex and sensitive system containing multiple […]

High Resolution 3D camera for Vision with ROS Driver

High Resolution 3D camera for Vision with ROS Driver

Love Park Robotics, a start-up company based in Philadelphia, PA has taken part in an early beta test of the new IFM Efector O3D303 3D camera system. The sensor was released in Germany in April 2013.The 3D camera, on the basis of PMD technology, detects scenes and objects at a glance in three dimensions. In contrast to […]
