  • Autonomous robotic plane flies indoors at MIT

    For decades, academic and industry researchers have been working on control algorithms for autonomous helicopters — robotic helicopters that pilot themselves, rather than requiring remote human guidance. Dozens of research teams have competed in a series of autonomous-helicopter challenges posed by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI); progress has been so rapid that…

  • Multi stage micro rockets for robotic insects

    One of the main challenges for sustained flight of current aerial micro robots is the low energy density available from common power sources. In this project we propose solid rocket fuel powered micro thrusters as a high energy density actuation method for aerial micro robots. In a multi stage configuration these thrusters can be used…

  • Robotic Fish Aquarium

    Nothing Beats The Real Deal If You Ask Me! Where is this taking us, sure it’s novice for now , BUT, with the trans-humanism movement in full swing this is scary. Duration : 0:0:53

  • Wolfgang Fink’s Robotic Lake Lander

    Wolfgang Fink of the UA department of electrical and computer engineering has developed an autonomous robotic lake lander that could be used to explore this planet and others. Fink unveiled the lake lander, named Tucson Explorer II, or TEX II, in a paper titled “Robotic Lake Lander Test Bed for Autonomous Surface and Subsurface Exploration…
