Design engineers tasked with custom robot development must often piece together scores of individual components. Nowhere is this more complicated than for the joints that allow humanoid robots and ...

Engineers at Harvard have developed a new method to design robotic joints that mimic the human knee, potentially making robots more efficient and grippers stronger. The approach uses rolling contact ...

Kpower Servo announces its latest guide which focuses on advanced humanoid robot joint motor technology. The ongoing ...

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new soft joint model for robots with an asymmetrical triangular structure and an extremely thin central column. This ...

Harvard SEAS researchers have developed a mathematical framework for optimizing the design of rolling contact joints, which are made of rolling surfaces and flexible connectors. To demonstrate their ...

An implant is placed into each of the two bones of the forearm—the ulna and radius—and then a wrist-like artificial joint acts as an interface between these two implants and the prosthetic hand. There ...

Getting robots to carry out repetitive tasks precisely and untiringly is relatively easy. Getting them to do it in the most efficient way possible is another thing entirely. Unai Ugalde-Olea, lecturer ...

Melexis has cone up with Arcminaxis – a magnetic technology for affordable, high-precision position sensing in robotic joints. The MLX90384, the first product incorporating Arcminaxis, reduces the ...

[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 ...

Joint replacement surgery has entered a new era with the rise of smart robotic technology - a sophisticated approach that blends 3D imaging, data-driven planning, and robotic assistance. This ...
