[Alexsoulis] needed to burn the Arduino bootloader to a slew of ATmega328 chips. Instead of sitting there and plugged the chips into a programmer one at a time, he build a robotic microcontroller ...

Moving an object from one location to another—picking and placing—is an ideal application for industrial robots due to the robots’ repeatability, throughput and favorable return on investment. It is ...

Moore’s law states integrated circuits double in both speed and number of circuits roughly every two years. As programmable devices become smaller, denser, and more complex, most machines that program ...

ABB’s new Robotic Item Picker uses artificial intelligence to accurately detect and pick items in unstructured environments. The ABB Robotic Item Picker. Source: ABB The Robotic Item Picker, recently ...

One of the jobs for which robots are best suited is the tedious, repetitive “pick and place” task common in warehouses — but humans are still much better at it. UC Berkeley researchers are picking up ...
