Open source robotics means that information about the hardware is easily discerned, so that others can easily rebuild it. In turn, this requires design to use only easily available standard subcomponents and tools, and for the build process to be documented in detail including a bill of materials and detailed ('Ikea style') step-by-step building and testing instructions.
Jessiko robot fish on France Pavilion at Yeosu 2012 World Expo. A robot fish is a type of bionic robot that has the shape and locomotion of a living fish.Most robot fish are designed to emulate living fish which use body-caudal fin (BCF) propulsion, and can be divided into three categories: single joint (SJ), multi-joint (MJ) and smart material-based "soft-body" design.
In robot kinematics, the manipulability ellipsoid represents the manipulability of a robotic system in a graphical form. Here, the manipulability of a robot arm refers to its ability to alter the position of the end effector based on the joint configuration. A higher manipulability measure signifies a broader range of potential movements in ...
Sketchpad was the earliest program ever to use a complete graphical user interface. [2] The clever way the program organizes its geometric data pioneered the use of master and occurrences in computing and pointed forward to object-oriented programming. The main idea was to have master drawings which can be instantiated into many duplicates.
Modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. Beyond conventional actuation, sensing and control typically found in fixed-morphology robots, self-reconfiguring robots are also able to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new ...
Ai-Da can be displayed in either a standing or seated position; although it has legs, it cannot walk. [12] A pair of cameras in the robot's eyes allow the robot to both make eye contact and, in conjunction with a computer vision algorithm and a modified robotic arm, create sketches of the robot's surroundings.

InMoov is a humanoid robot, constructed out of 3D printable plastic body components, and controlled by Arduino microcontrollers. InMoov is a robot developed for artistic purposes by French sculptor Gaël Langevin [1] in September 2011. (The first blueprint files were published in January 2012 on Thingiverse. [2])
Turtles specifically designed for use with Logo systems often come with pen mechanisms allowing the programmer to create a design on a large sheet of paper. The original Logo turtle, built by Paul Wexelblat at BBN , was named "Irving" and was demonstrated at the former Muzzey Junior High in Lexington, Massachusetts . [ 1 ] "
