About RobAid

RobAid.com is a web site with news and articles covering subjects regarding robots, gadgets, technology, bionics, biomimicry and sustainable architecture. The website mascot and title got their name from an idea of upcoming Rob(otic) Aid.

How RobAid got started?

The website was launched at the beginning of April, 2009. We began the realization of it as we saw a need for a tech news website with balanced amount of information suitable both for experts and general audience. That goal is achieved by writing mid-lengthened articles with links to more detailed external resources.

What can you find on our website?

We tend not to write about concepts and only 5 categories were chosen for better coverage of the news and better quality of our articles:

  • Robotics where we cover a wide range of subjects and robots with various applications with focus on robots used in our everyday lives
  • Gadgets where we write reviews and news about gadgets and apps we find interesting and useful
  • Technology where we cover interesting breakthroughs in tech applied in our other categories
  • Bionics where we cover merge of biology and technology with focus on our efforts to mimic the nature
  • Green architecture where we publish articles related to technology and sustainability in architecture

Aside the quality of our more thoroughly investigated and explained content, here are the features that distinct us from our competition:
