The team embedded highly stretchable Arduino boards into different soft robot bodies. These stretchable Arduino boards can control and sense robotic movements, providing the computational power ...

The Arduino Mega and the MOSFET switches should be mounted using M 3-mm x 6-mm Phillips plastic PCB board fasteners. Mark, drill, and tap holes to mount them and the other components.

The Rex robot controller board has been designed by Alphalem based in San Mateo, California and takes the form of a single board computer which is small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.

Appropriately named the Arduino Robot, the 7 x 4-inch (178 x 102-mm) circular wheeled device utilizes two stacked Arduino boards. The Control Board, which sits on top, reads the various onboard ...

Control is via a Playstation 2 controller, in this case a 2.4 GHz third party version. This allows the robot to be controlled wirelessly, with the decoding handled by [Bill Porter]’s useful ...

London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that ...

Soft robotics could help revolutionize how humans interact with machines. But researchers have struggled to build entirely compliant robots. Electric power and control systems — such as batteries and ...

As impressive as the octopus prototype above looks, the soft-bodied robot project is still in its infancy. The work has been going on for two years. "So we are relatively young", Morin said.

Conventionally, engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise, predictable robotic systems, which are easily modelled as rigid members connected at discrete joints. Natural systems ...

The majority of soft robots today rely on external power and control, keeping them tethered to off-board systems or rigged with hard components. Now, researchers have developed soft robotic ...
