An in-depth exploration of how advanced power semiconductors and passive components can improve the performance of 48 V humanoid robot power systems.

See how advances in connectivity are helping engineers enable faster data transfer to support reliable power delivery in compact form factors.

If you are starting out in robotics and ROS2 feels like a wall of unfamiliar vocabulary, this is exactly the blog I wish someone had handed me before I opened the documentation for the first time.

This part is where it all becomes real for robotics: we apply everything from the previous two parts directly to ROS2, run actual nodes inside a container, and build a setup you can take into your own projects.

Walk through a complete humanoid robot power tree, from the battery and 48 V distribution backbone to actuation, compute, sensing, and safety-critical systems.

A demonstration of the complete process for training a self-balancing robot using reinforcement learning and deploying the trained model to real hardware.

Altera FPGA SoCs help robotics designers add AI, real-time control, sensor flexibility, and scalable motion support as requirements evolve.

If you've ever stood in front of a classroom full of students while an XRP robot starts driving in unexpected circles and you're not entirely sure why — this post is for you.

Combine robotics, 3D printing, and maker ingenuity to create a practical SpikerBot modification for safer autonomous exploration.

In my first blog, I talked about the plan and the overall roadmap. In my most recent blog, I talked about the technical plans and the road bumps we encountered. With all that out of the way, let’s talk about the final implementation and the results.

Learn how the Arduino UNO Q accelerates the development of real-time edge AI applications and industrial retrofits that require embedded Linux.

Explore the WPI XRP Medal Challenge and create unique robotics builds with sensors, extensions, and maker creativity for hands-on innovation.

Creating a low-cost prosthetic arm is challenging, but making one that is also easy to calibrate and accurate is even tougher.

When you think of "electronics," you probably picture rigid green circuit boards, silicon chips, and soldering irons. But what if you could build a circuit entirely out of soft, stretchy rubber?

The pace of innovation is accelerating rapidly, driven by advances in AI, robotics, and computing power, with the possibilities expanding beyond simple tasks.

Accelerate AMR and AGV integration using motor controllers, IMUs, and ToF modules with native ROS 2 drivers.

Discover how the XRP robot brings affordable robotics and AI education to classrooms with scalable curriculum and EDU discounts.
