Robotic arms, also called industrial robots, are also referred to as mechanical arms. These are devices whose functionality is the same as that of human hands. They have several joints which enable ...

[Tim] needed very small, motorized joints for a robot. Unable to find anything to fit the bill, he designed his own tiny, robotic joints. Not only are these articulated and motorized, they are ...

Texas A&M engineers led by Ana Diaz Artiles are developing soft robotic technology that could make future "SmartSuit" space suits for planetary exploration more safe, comfortable, and energy efficient ...

Robots are being increasingly used in industrial processes because of their ability to carry out repetitive tasks in a precise, reliable way. Right now, digital controllers are used to drive the ...

Joint modules are key execution components of robots, and their performance directly determines the robot's motion capabilities, precision performance, and interaction safety. To meet the increasingly ...

WILKES-BARRE — Ken Stella was at work in Friedman Electric Supply’s offices last week, much as he has been for the past two decades. Nothing unusual about that, perhaps — except when you consider that ...

The essence of this patent lies in its innovative braking device design. Compared with traditional pin-type braking methods, Doujiang Technology's new braking device effectively addresses the problem ...

Can a robot figure out how heavy or soft an object is without using a single camera or force sensor? According to a recent arXiv paper, the answer is yes—and the solution lies entirely in how the ...

Types of Robotic Arms Robotic arms are of many different types. Each component found in the current manufacturing industry has been specifically designed. That way, they can provide functions ...
