    3 Robotic Technologies that will improve our life

    Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) have already had a major impact on industries ranging from healthcare to transport and logistics, but as robots become cheaper, smaller and more reliable, they will become increasingly relevant to daily life. Continue reading →

    Teaching Robot Programming Skills to Children

    Robotics programming may seem ‘futuristic’, but it does introduce students to some educational concepts at an early age. Students learn basic electrical circuitry, mathematics and mechanics, but do so in a hands-on, problem-based way, which means that they must integrate and apply what they have learnt.  Continue reading →

    Government changes to School Curriculum

    The evolution of education has occurred over many centuries, although the process was only really formalised and envisioned as a mandatory part of a child’s development within the last 150 years. Continue reading →

    Juke Bots - More Robot Triage

    My second task during work experience was to get two cute Wall·E like bots up and running. The plan was to have them whizzing around whilst blaring out music. These bots seemed relatively cute and simple compared to the behemoth of the hexapod, so I began trying to fix them. Continue reading →

    Work Experience - In at the Deep End

    Having had no prior experience with any robotics, it was quite daunting to see a huge hexapod lying in front of me on my first day of work experience. This hexapod had been abandoned in a box for many years, wires were spewed out across its lifeless back and its circuitry was all exposed. It was my job to nurture this poor robotic ant back to health. Continue reading →
