About RobAid

RobAid.com is a web site with news and articles covering subjects regarding robots, gadgets, technology, bionics, biomimicry and sustainable architecture. The site’s name and mascot were inspired by the concept of Rob(otic) Aid.

Origins of RobAid

Launched in April 2009, the website emerged from a vision to create a tech news platform that balances information for experts and the general audience. By writing mid-length articles and linking to detailed external resources, the site meets this goal.

What can you find on our website?

RobAid focuses on five categories to ensure thorough coverage and high-quality articles and we tend not to write about concepts:

  • Robotics: From everyday-use robots to those with diverse applications.
  • Gadgets:  Reviews and news about apps and gadgets that are useful and intriguing.
  • Technology: Insights into breakthrough technologies that complement other categories.
  • Bionics: The fusion of biology and tech, with an emphasis on mimicking nature.
  • Green architecture:  Articles centered on technology and sustainability in architecture.
