Robotic materials are composite materials that combine sensing, actuation, computation, and communication in a repeatable or amorphous pattern. [1] Robotic materials can be considered computational metamaterials in that they extend the original definition of a metamaterial [2] as "macroscopic composites having a man-made, three-dimensional, periodic cellular architecture designed to produce an ...
Robot Shalu is a homemade social and educational humanoid robot [1] [2] developed by Dinesh Kunwar Patel, [3] [4] an Indian Kendriya Vidyalaya Computer Science teacher from Mumbai. [5] [6] It was built using waste materials [7] [8] and can speak 47 languages, including 9 Indian and 38 foreign languages.
A "casting robot" would use sculpting tools and templates to make plaster molds. Plaster was selected because the molds are easy to make, can make precise parts with good surface finishes, and the plaster can be easily recycled afterward using an oven to bake the water back out.
The robots have chunky rubber wheels to help them negotiate bumpy, gravelly, or sandy ground. The company uses a team of three robots to lay the bricks. One picks up bricks from a pile and drives ...
Xenobots are composed solely of frog cells, making them biodegradable and environmentally friendly robots. Unlike traditional technologies, xenobots do not generate pollution or require external energy inputs during their life-cycle.
Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that concerns the design, control, and fabrication of robots composed of compliant materials, instead of rigid links. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In contrast to rigid-bodied robots built from metals, ceramics and hard plastics, the compliance of soft robots can improve their safety when working in close contact with humans.
EcoBot or Eco-Bot is short for ecological robot, and it refers to a class of robots that can remain self-sustainable by collecting their energy from material, mostly waste matter, in the environment. The only by-product from this process is carbon dioxide , which would have been produced from the natural biodegradation of the fuel regardless.
Soft Growing Robotics is a subset of soft robotics concerned with designing and building robots that use robot body expansion to move and interact with the environment.. Soft growing robots are built from compliant materials and attempt to mimic how vines, plant shoots, and other organisms reach new locations through growth.
