Learn how to build your own desktop fully functional robot arm powered by Arduino hardware and assembled using 3D printed parts.

If you want an easy project to complete in a day or so, or something to introduce kids to the world of robots and electronics, make this light-following robot your weekend project.

Learning to build a robot arm will teach you how to breadboard a circuit, how to program your Arduino, and how to work with moving parts.

that will make you believe in it as if it's alive. Wired talked with Will Jackson, founder and CEO of Engineered Arts, to understand how they design, prototype, and test their humanoid robots.

The robot is based on a two-wheeled design with tank-style steering. Controlled by an Arduino Uno, the robot uses a Slamtec RPLIDAR sensor to help map out its surroundings.

Why not the real world? The main obstacle to scaling this model up, and why we’re not putting this on any real robot yet, is that it’s hard to compute the channel capacity of an agent and a human far ...
