How to Build Better Robotics with Integrated Actuators

Reese Abouelnasr, a Mechatronics Engineer with Harmonic Drive, answers a few questions about the latest developments in actuators and the design or engineering challenges these devices can help solve in robotics.

Automate 2026 Q&A with Precision Drive Systems (PDS)

Our engineering team can help improve your robotics process results, and our sales engineers can draw on a deep reservoir of knowledge and tactics for vibration analysis, on-board spindle monitoring, aggregates, and more to protect uptime.

Key Considerations for Robotics Manufacturers Ensure Secure Connected Systems

Modern robotic platforms should be designed with security as a foundational principle, incorporating architectural controls such as least-privilege execution, strong isolation between system components, and robust fault containment.

Automate 2026 Q&A with maxon

For us, Automate is less about showcasing products and more about engaging in engineering discussions, such as managing duty cycles and thermal limits, addressing torque versus size constraints, and evaluating control architectures.

Elmo Motion Control Talks About Their Newest Servos

At the core of the Titanium platform is a unique combination of multi-axis control, high computing power, and integrated functional safety, all within an exceptionally small footprint.

What Robot Designers Should Check Before Choosing Right-Angle Gearing

In real right-angle gear projects, the biggest problems often come not from the gear type itself, but from mismatch between joint targets, support design, and acceptance criteria.

Enabling Autonomous Machines: Advancing 3D Sensor Fusion With Au-Zone

Only by combining radar and vision with edge AI processing in one unit could we deliver a system fast enough, reliable enough and robust enough to meet the demands of next-generation autonomy.

Scaling Battery Disassembly: Why the Real Challenge Is Not Automation

The emerging circular economy introduces new challenges and new application areas for automation. One of them is EV battery disassembly. Unlike traditional industrial environments, battery disassembly operates without stable geometries, consistent designs, or reliable data.

How the Modular Concept Can Help You Build a Future-Proof and Secure Robotic Computing Platform

Today, an intelligent robotic platform simultaneously has to run real-time multi-axis motion control, processes multiple data streams from various sensors including 2D and 3D vision cameras and/or LIDAR.

Autonomous Mobile Picking Robots: Bridging the Gap Between Warehouse Automation and Retail Fulfillment

This article examines how an integrated autonomous picking system — combining a lightweight 6-DOF robotic arm, depth-camera-based vision, adaptive grasping, and intelligent task management — was developed and deployed to address these challenges.

Brushless DC (BLDC) Machines — Where They Outperform

Learn where Brushless DC (BLDC) machines outperform traditional drives in UAVs, robotics, e-bikes, & industrial drives, and how Mosrac helps optimize next-gen motion control.

The $500 Delivery Robot Is Coming — and It Will Reshape the Industry

Cheap AI accelerators and simulation-trained neural policies are about to collapse the cost of autonomous delivery. The business implications are bigger than the technical ones.

IDS: Digital precision transforms aircraft construction with Ensenso 3D vision

An Ensenso 3D camera integrated into an automated process chain ensures accurate detection and alignment of drilling positions in aircraft cabin assembly.

How Bin Picking AI Models are Trained

Learn how a bin picking AI model gets trained so you can confidently compare solutions. Here's what happens behind the scenes and what it means for your project.

From Demo to Deployment, Where Robotics Actually Fails

We've made remarkable progress in vision, but for true autonomy in unstructured worlds, the big gap is tactile intelligence. A robot can't just see; it has to 'feel' pressure and tension to handle objects reliably, whether that's a harvest arm or a medical device.

PI USA - Hexapod for Industrial Alignment

PI USA - Hexapod for Industrial Alignment

This new compact 6-axis hexapod was designed with 24/7 industrial precision alignment tasks and easy serviceability in mind. It is equipped with absolute encoders (no need for referencing) and motor brakes that automatically engage during a loss of power, for extra safety. Debuting at Photonics West 2025 last month, applications include camera lens alignment, micro assembly, and fiber optical alignment applications.
