Tiny BOT is a simple obstacle avoiding robot with two wheels that can be fabricated using a handful of generally available and inexpensive discrete components. The robot can perform avoidance ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

We’re all pretty well-acquainted with the obstacle avoiding robot. These little inventions use a proximity sensor to detect an object in front of the robot, then circumvent the object accordingly.

CNET has been testing robot vacuums for years, but we're always refining our testing procedures. Here's the process we use to evaluate robot vacuums for cleaning, navigation performance, obstacle ...

Researchers have created an autonomous flying robot that is as smart as a bird when it comes to maneuvering around obstacles. Cornell researchers have created an autonomous flying robot that is as ...

Robot vacuums have steadily improved their cleaning performance and object avoidance over the years, but during our testing at CNET Labs, we discovered an odd trade-off.

If you’ve ever ordered a product from Amazon, chances are that a robot selected your purchase from a shelf, read the barcode and delivered it to the counter for packaging. Hopefully, it didn’t collide ...
