For hobbyists, the Edge Robotic Arm Kit offers a platform to experiment with different robotic applications, from simple pick-and-place tasks to more complex sequences of movements.

It's an epic story of almost Hollywoodesque proportions: a crippled aerospace engineer, unable to work, fighting against adversity, and while on the edge of financial destitution, decides to build ...

Using the Kresling origami pattern, researchers made a robotic arm able to mimic the flexibility and motion of an octopus limb.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have enabled a paralysed man to regularly control a robotic arm using signals from his brain, transmitted via a computer.

Matheny's robotic arm is completely exposed black composite material and metal. You can see how it connects to his body, and you can see how it's put together.

The arm controller then commands the servos to execute the maneuver. It may be a small robotic arm that doesn’t have the capacity to lift much, but that’s not the point.
