Featured Research Project: Multi-coloured cubic box puzzle (click on picture for more information)
The cubic box puzzle is all about autonomous mobile robots and artificial intelligence. There are 27 lightweight plastic boxes with lifting knobs at each corner; each one a 1ft cube (0.3m cube). One of the boxes is an "ace" gold coloured cube...

Latest Hexapod
Great care has been taken with this latest design. For example, (i) 60 ball bearing races are used for the leg and tendon joints to give low friction, long life, zero maintenance and high repeatability, (ii) legs have low weight, high stiffness and low polar moment of inertia brought about by careful design, CNC precision machining, and use of aluminium alloy, Delrin plastic and carbon fibre materials.Click here to read more>> |
