The movement capability of humanoid robots starts at the joints. Harmonic joint modules are the core enabler of agile motion.

Joints are an essential part in robotics, especially those that try to emulate the motion of (human) animals. Unlike the average automaton, animals are not outfitted with bearings and similar types of ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer is going the Tesla way by unveiling its first humanoid robot. At its 2024 AI Day event, Xpeng unveiled its first robot, Iron, marking a major leap into robotics ...

Nohtal Partansky’s Sorting Robotics equipment is used by some of the biggest names in the cannabis industry, from Stiiizy to Tilray. Now he’s gearing up for when Big Tobacco is ready to roll. Inside ...

Let us imagine, for a moment, the arm of a robot that lifts a cup of coffee to its "lips" over and over again. The joint of this robotic arm needs a certain flexibility plus an electric motor to drive ...

There is a lot of buzz these days in the manufacturing sector about robots — and how they can help manufacturers address some of the challenges they face in today’s market, such as increased ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed and tested a new type of human-like mechanical hand that combines the benefits of existing robot hands while eliminating their weaknesses. Until now, competing types of ...
