The convergence of mechanics and electronics in robotics brings with it a lot of challenges. Thanks to 3D printing and low cost components, it’s possible to quickly and easily experiment with a ...

Textbooks that provide a broad algorithmic perspective on the mechanics and dynamics of robots almost unfailingly serve students at the graduate level. Introduction to Autonomous Robots offers a ...

When you happen upon a suspicious package sitting on the side of an Iraqi road, a remotely operated tracked vehicle can come in handy. That’s one reason these devices have captured the imagination of ...

Researchers have shown how to create morphing robotic mechanisms and shape-shifting sculptures from a single sheet of paper in a method reminiscent of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.

The mechanisms of other animals that humans do not have can be used as ideas for robotics research, such as the mechanism that allows penguins to swim quickly as a clue for constructing water vehicles ...

Chances are that at some point you’ve used an elliptical trainer, or cross-trainer, in the gym. A piece of equipment designed to simulate stair climbing, walking, or running, for most of us the ...

Columbia Engineering researchers have created an AI system that can design functional planar mechanisms from visual shape prompts, a breakthrough in a field that has relied on human intuition for ...
