Mech-Mind Robotics launched a new-gen Mech-Eye Nano Industrial 3D camera that combines a small size with high-quality 3D imaging targeting precision-required applications and on-arm mounting in pick-and-place robotics. Using fast…

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed millimeter-sized robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields to perform highly maneuverable and dexterous manipulations, possibly for…

Robotic arms have been around for quite a long time. The manipulation that they perform is a common action as well as still a challenging problem. In order to perform in-hand manipulation on a sophisticated level, Professor Aaron Dollar and…

Genesis Robotics & Motion Technologies launched its LiveDrive LDD 1800 Series Direct Drive Actuators, featuring a broad range of configurations and performance options. The actuators eliminate gearing and offer simplicity, cleanliness,…

PickNik Robotics was just awarded a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant to develop its technology for advanced planning capabilities for robots in microgravity…

Industrial or collaborative? This is the question everyone is asking. We all want to get the most out of our production, however the demarcation line between the two options is not as clear as you might think.

DEEP Robotics demonstrated their smart quadruped robots Jueying Pro, Jueying, Jueying Mini and Jueying Mini Lite at the 2021 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (IEEE ICRA 2021).  Their latest lineup of robotic dogs…

A recent, albeit small study found that people who were touched by a humanoid robot when conversing with it reported a better emotional state and were likely to comply with a request from the robot. Laura Hoffmann of Ruhr University Bochum,…

According to Columbia Engineering researchers that are using AI to teach robots appropriate reactive human facial expressions, it may mean that the robot will earn your trust. In a study titled “Smile Like You Mean It: Driving Animatronic…

As robots are becoming more commonplace in factories, it is important that they become more intelligent, autonomous, safer and efficient. All of this is enabled with precise motor control, advanced sensing technologies and processing at the…
