Robot dogs can move efficiently, but not all that naturally -- and no, twerking doesn't count. Virginia Tech researchers think they can do better. They're developing a combination of algorithms ...

This Q&A article explores the intersection of robotics and physical artificial intelligence (AI ) systems that are embedded in the physical world – with a ...

The inclusion of sensors is imperative to their automation, however, developers need to take care when choosing which sensors to incorporate in the design. As stated previously, sensor type, ...

Erwin Quarder Systemtechnik designed and built a fully automated production system that begins with the molding of the parts ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. Advanced motion control via encoder systems, sensors, and gate-driver power control are the building blocks to ...

Accuracy Older magnetostrictive sensors did not have the resolution and accuracy of better optical linear encoders. However, advancements in magnetostrictive technology over the years have now ...

The earlier stretchable sensor was created in 2016 and used light sent through an optical waveguide and a photodiode to detect changes in the beam's intensity to determine when the material deformed.

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

The most commonly used encoder are optical encoders.“Inside these encoders is a disk with opaque and transparent areas, usually in a pattern of lines and windows,” said Donowitz. “An LED array shines ...
