Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

Real robots have captured the imagination of young and old engineers, designers, and programmers alike. For example, techies can get their hands dirty with iRobot’s Roomba Create or take part in ...

From R2-D2 to Optimus Prime, Wall-E to The Iron Giant, robots have long captured our collective imaginations. In today’s world, their influence is far less limited to fictional settings; robotics are ...

That was the question Nick Morales (MSR '23) asked himself in April when he and his classmates from Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program presented their robotics ...

It’s the metal, plastic, and wires that give the robot its shape and allow it to move around. Engineers in this field design ...

“Biohybrid robots” that are part fungi and part computer convert fungal electrical signals into digital commands, a promising advance in building more sustainable robots. Mycellium from this commonly ...

Most robots rely on complex control systems, AI-powered or otherwise, that govern their movement. These centralized electronic brains need time to react to changes in their environment and produce ...

Last week Alpha, the robot, made its first public appearance in the U. S. One of the most ingenious automatons ever contrived by man, a grim and gleaming monster 6 ft. 4 in. tall, the robot was ...

Robots are machines that can automatically perform both simple and complex actions. They are often programmed by a computer, but there's no single definition of a robot. Robots include a wide variety ...

Figure 4 This accuracy comparison shows that the SCXI-1112 signal-conditioning module delivered ±0.3°C accuracy compared to ±5.0°C with the SCB-68 terminal block using a calibrated input. When I think ...

The Master of Science in Robotics final project is where students put the skills, lessons, and ideas they've developed into practice. These faculty-guided experiences provide an opportunity for ...
