Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...

One of the challenges with humanoid robots, besides keeping them upright, is finding compact combinations of actuators and joint mechanisms that allow for good range of smooth motion while still ...

[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 ...

The HEJ 90 combines a brushless motor, precision gearbox, encoder, servo drive and thermal monitoring into a sealed joint ...

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 ...

A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion or ...

The right motor and a modular unit can deliver high torque performance, accuracy and repeatability, plus easy implementation into articulating arms. If you’re planning to build a collaborative robot ...

Hyundai bought robotics pioneer Boston Dynamics way back in late 2020, and while the company has had products make it to production already, such as the dog-like quadruped robot Spot, what they showed ...

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 ...
