Abstract: Wearable upper limb exoskeletons and robot arms have shown great application prospects in both daily life and industrial applications. However, since human arms have many degrees of freedom, ...

Posital’s new generation of IXARC magnetic absolute rotary encoders are now available with BiSS C communications interfaces. IXARC encoders with the BiSS C interface feature Posital’s latest TMR ...

There are many chess robots, most of which require the human player to move the opposing pieces themselves, or have a built-in mechanism that can slide the opposing pieces around to their new location ...

Abstract: Space robotic arms are designed to operate in microgravity environments, so their own weight makes them difficult to move on Earth's 1g surface. A cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) can ...

Industrial six-axis robots often integrate frameless motors at their axes. Over the past decade, permanent-magnet brushless servomotors have come to dominate. Increasingly common in six-axis robotic ...

Here’s a party trick: Try opening a bottle of water using your thumb and pointer finger while holding it without spilling. It sounds simple, but the feat requires strength, dexterity, and coordination ...

Forward-looking: When engineers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) set out to rethink the human hand, they removed one of its defining constraints: attachment. The result is ...

EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous for human hands. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

To address the core challenges of inaccurate fruit occlusion localization and inefficient robotic arm dynamic obstacle avoidance in complex, unstructured agricultural environments, this study proposes ...
