[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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

The practice of using the virtual robot arm accelerated the subject's ability to use the actual robot arm to perform tasks such as grasping, reaching, transporting, and manipulating objects, and more.

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.
