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

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

Abstract: Spherical actuators serve as active joints capable of rotation in three directions and are more compact than traditional joints with multiple single-axis motors embedded in series. Accurate ...

It’s an unfortunate fact that when a scientist at MIT describes an exciting new piece of hardware as “low-cost,” it might not mean the same thing as if a hobbyist had said it. [Caden Kraft] ...

The SDLM-016-032-01-01-M direct drive linear motor with an integrated encoder and temperature sensor is a new addition to Moticont’s SDLM Series. This motor is the smallest of the series of linear ...

The Kepler robot is equipped with self-developed planetary roller screw actuators that use dual encoders and force sensors to achieve precise and smooth control. This enhances the dynamic and static ...

Global Brands Manufacture, a PCB manufacturer under Passive System Alliance (PSA), is advancing its Asian expansion strategy following the acquisition of Japanese PCB maker Lincstech, according to ...

The H-815 6-Axis Hexapod is a ruggedized, highly accurate, positioning and alignment system designed for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial motion applications. Engineered as a durable ...
