Low-cost, LiDAR-based Navigation for Mobile Robotics

11/26/15, 10:03 AM | Mobile Robots, Other Topics | lidar | Rhoeby Dynamics

Using the ROS Navigation suite from the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), we highlight a solution employing the Rhoeby Dynamics R2D LiDAR, a low-cost LiDAR device

How Universal Robots Doubled Production at Tegra Medical

11/24/15, 02:48 PM | Industrial Robotics | Case Study | Universal Robots USA

Medical device manufacturer Tegra Medical faced profit erosion as costs went up and customers demanded price cuts. Deploying three collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots to tend the machines manufacturingmedical instruments doubled throughput, freed up 11 full time positions and enabled the manufacturer to keep up with customer demand while keeping costs down.

3D Printing of Motors and Electronics

11/19/15, 10:31 AM | Other Topics | 3D Printing

My research involves developing techniques to 3D print electric motors and electronics. This goes beyond the usual 3D printed structures - structures dont do anything. To do things, we need motors and electronics to control those motors.

Robotic Additive Manufacturing Platform for 3D Printing Composite Parts

11/17/15, 09:02 AM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation | 3D Printing

The first-of-its-kind solution consists of a standard commercially available robot, composite deposition end-effector hardware and a comprehensive software suite.

The Geminoids are Coming!

11/17/15, 09:01 AM | Mobile Robots | Geminoids

There is research going on at the University of New South Wales in Australia, to determine the behavior of humans, as they interact with Geminoids-the name given these life-like robots because of their similarity to humans. The next step is to study whether a human being can get used to interacting with Geminoids.

3 Micro Drones & Robot Swarms Initiatives Backed by the US Military

DARPAs FLA program aims to create unmanned nano robot like insects & birds that can go into buildings & perform key activities that will not be possible by Humans.

Robotics Startup Unveils Humanoid Servant

11/11/15, 09:50 AM | Mobile Robots

One of the technology breakthroughs of Alpha 2 is the servo technology that was designed specifically for this robot. The servos are miniaturized while providing maximum torque giving Alpha 2 the dexterity and range of movements currently only seen in robots costing 20K or more.

Here are a few projects we think are worth looking into. Be careful... it is crowdfunding.

SkyTech 2016 - UAV Conference & Exhibition

11/05/15, 10:20 AM | Other Topics | Tradeshows and Conferences

SkyTech 2016 is a two-day B2B tradeshow for the commercial UAV industry. In 2016 SkyTech will incorporate an exhibition, three conferences, workshops, product launches, live demonstrations and marketing opportunities for the commercial UAV community.

3D Printing and Acoustics: Rapid Prototyping of Sound Diffusers

11/03/15, 09:48 AM | Other Topics | 3D Printing

By being able to design diffusers in 3D and print them, we streamline the prototyping process tremendously. We can do virtual simulations with the 3D models to get a sense of the effectiveness, and we can make aesthetic or functional changes before its printed.

TM Robotics - Shibaura Machine THE SCARA range

The THE range from Shibaura Machine is an extensive line up of SCARA robots. Available in four arm lengths THE400 (400mm), THE600 (600mm) and the most recent THE800 (800mm) and THE1000 (1000mm), this range is suitable for assembly, handling, inspection and pick and place processes in varied industrial applications. The THE1000 boasts a 20kg payload capacity and an impressive 0.44 second cycle time, providing high speeds for processes with large components. In fact, the range has been recognised for as the price-to-performance leader compared to other SCARA models in its price range due to its impressive speed versus payload capacity.
