To create an intelligent robot, the team first needs to engineer body feedback systems, including adding more sensors in the arms to detect how much the limbs have extended or contracted.

To let users create additional functionality, ArcBotics is preparing programming samples and tutorials for controlling the robot's sensors and actuators.

The computer scientist Christoph Salge is trying to circumvent the need for rules that guide robots’ behavior. His strategy: Give them a goal of making us more powerful.

For robots to be predictable and adaptive, they need a priority-based architecture and a new legal model, argues a researcher ...

Winfield describes his robots as having a little bit of “common sense.” For the moment, robots can only use simulation theory of mind in relatively simple situations.

But computers are blind, so autonomous cars must rely on other ways to perceive their surroundings. Lidar sensors, a laser form of radar, have emerged as a powerful way for robot cars to navigate.

So how does a manufacturer contemplating a first robot integration project participate fully so that the project is a success on their terms? Here are four suggestions to guide you during the process.

It incorporates six littleBits -components, which are sold via the company's -website. Two bright LEDs and light sensors rigged to motors keep the robot moving along a line of black electrical tape.
