[Leo Goldstien] recently got in touch to let us know about a fascinating update he posted on the Hackaday.io page for ManiPylator — his 3D printed Six degrees of freedom, or 6DOF robotic arm.… ...

Without skipping a beat, the robot arm jumps into action and does exactly what it promised to do. We built a GPT-4o-powered cleaning robot. - $250 for the robot arms - 4 days to build Open source ...

In a proof-of-concept study that integrates smart materials, machine learning and an optical control system, a team of Rice ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a groundbreaking soft robotic arm that moves using only laser light—no wires, ...

Engineers at Rice University have developed a wire-free soft robotic arm capable of complex, real-time movements—powered and guided entirely by laser light and artificial intelligence.

In 2008, a team led by Andrew Schwartz at the University of Pittsburgh showed that a monkey could control a robotic arm to feed itself using signals from its brain. After that, researchers moved ...

To control the material, the researchers used a spatial light modulator to split a single laser beam into multiple beamlets, each directed to a different part of the robotic arm.
