8 reasons why ROS is still relevant for robotics projects in 2023

Whether you already have programming experience, like how to use a terminal and now you wish to apply them into robotics, or you are willing to dive into a new robotics project specs, ROS is the language you want to use. In this article we will explain whether you should be using it… or not. […]

Raspberry Pi 4: an asset for STEM robotics

Engineering courses are notorious for their rigor and difficulty, and choosing the right materials can make all the difference. Today, limiting courses to textbooks, articles, and online resources is not enough. What students are looking for is a complete engineering experience. Yes, of course they wish to pass exams, but what they also want is […]

Unpacking and robotics: a robot at the beginning of the production line?

Last months, we wrote about packing and one of its feature, mixing, so it was all natural to write an article about another important logistical task: unpacking. What is unpacking? In the industrial field, unpacking corresponds to any task consisting in removing a product from its packaging. This manipulation allows the supply of a production […]

5 benefits of using Python in robotics

We often hear debates about which programming language is better to be used for robotics. While there’s usually no “One Best Way”, Python is a major figure in the field of robot programming and can’t be ignored. Today, Python is considered as one of the most popular of high-level programming languages. It allows roboticists to […]

How to learn robotics with Raspberry Pi (1/2)

You want to start learning robotics and do really cool stuff by making your robot clever ? Raspberry Pi boards and robots are close to achieve the perfect match. In the future, many accessible robots will embed a Raspberry Pi board (or a similar board) to provide great functionalities for a good price. A Raspberry […]

Accessibility to robotics, five years later.

In 2016, we wrote one of our first blog articles about robots’ accessibility. The observation, which was the reason why Niryo has been created, was alarming: getting access to robots is difficult as robots are expensive, take a lot of space, the programming languages are very specific and need important knowledge. Learnings are mostly theoricals […]
