“Arduino is now offering a fully-assembled robot, designed as a base platform for electronics tinkerers’ DIY robotics projects. Its hardware and software are…open-source and highly hackable.”
Robots clean rivers and sort waste, monitor ecosystems, and inspect renewable-energy infrastructure. But even the greenest robot has an environmental footprint.
EPFL engineers have designed acoustic cavities that convert sound waves into thrust, propelling small robots and ultralight aerial vehicles without on-board actuators or electronics.
