Got a few thousand bucks and a good deal of engineering expertise? You're in luck: Stanford students have created a quadrupedal robot platform called Doggo that you can build with off-the-shelf parts and a considerable amount of elbow grease. That's better than the alternatives, which generally req…
Instead of coding a mechanical quadruped's movements line by line, Google researchers fed it videos of real-life pups. Now it can even chase its tail.
It's a very good plan for some very good boys and girls.
If your friend is sad, you can say something to help cheer them up. If you ask your co-worker to make coffee, they know the steps to complete this task.
"You don’t get to blame the technology, blame the humans for not choosing what to do with it," says futurist Pablos Holman.
The Hollsopple Robotic Doges explain parts of their robot, which will compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge.
We're pretty sure this is as close as a doggo could get to whispering — normally a wholly human affair — and for that, he deserves a really good scratch behind the ears.
Lots of bots give kids the opportunity to learn to code, but only a few offer a build experience that is truly kid friendly. PopPet, the robotic pet, is a do-it-yourself kit made with kids in mind.
Try your hand at robotics with Nybble, a programmable cat that walks, bats its paws, and even regains its balance after a jump from a tall surface. The cat is the brainchild of RongzhongLi of Petoi, who built the feline robot on an open source platform that runs on an Arduino micro-controller, and f
Building your own pet first aid kit; you’ll be glad you did.
"I could've swore my human was just there." —Every one of these dogs
How do you even begin to make a game like Inside with a rookie team? You start with a dog
Dogs have always been our best friend. Your dog is your loyal buddy, so why not build them a custom dog house by getting ideas from the doghouses below. These dog houses can be a good inspiration for getting building ideas if you are looking for a cool design. Why not give your dog the …
As far as needlessly complex and useless gadgets go, there’s nothing better than a mechanical backpack that moves a wiener in different directions in order to get a bulldog to do your bidding.
Your parents might keep a sharp eye on potential partners and your besties may lay down difficult “friend tests,” but only one real opinion on...
Google created a stir when it release a video of people kicking its robot dog, "Spot." But just what are the ethics of kicking a robot?
