Clemson ME professor, Michael Porter, was published in the journal Science for his research with seahorse tails. This research could lead to new designs in robotics, which could be applied to build better search-and-rescue robots or bio-medical devices. It could also be applied to new types of stronger, more durable armor. Read the articles below […]
During the Artisphere festival, visitors were able to use audio files to create drawings using simple technology attached to a cell phone. Typically drawing robots are complicated systems which use stepper motors and microcontrollers, but CMERL Robot is simple, it’s controlled by any device with a headphone jack. The three wire protocol (Tip, Ring and […]
