Using an LVDT as a Robotic Micrometer or Automated Height Gauge
Collaborative robots can be used to automate measurements currently made with manual micrometers, height gauges, and calipers. In this article, we'll look at how to automate each of these manual gauging tools.
New study shows methods robots can use to self-assess their own performance
Research is shedding light on how autonomous systems can foster human confidence in robots. Largely, the research suggests that humans have an easier time trusting a robot that offers some kind of self-assessment as it goes about its tasks.
Computer-on-Modules For Autonomous Intralogistics Vehicles
Because it is very costly and time-consuming to develop and implement customized robotic solutions, many small and medium-sized companies shy away from the investment. Not only in production, but also in intralogistics.
Self-healing materials for robotics made from 'jelly' and salt
Researchers have developed self-healing, biodegradable, 3D-printed materials that could be used in the development of realistic artificial hands and other soft robotics applications.
A Fantastic Feeling - Lightweight Exoskeleton
Zurich-based startup MyoSwiss has developed a lightweight exoskeleton that works like an e-bike for the legs. It assists the wearer's movements with electronic reinforcement.
Soft Robotics Set to Unveil mGripAI™ at the International Processing and Production Expo
By combining 3D vision, artificial intelligence, and Soft Robotics' industry-proven, IP69K-rated, soft grasping, mGripAI provides industrial robots with the hand-eye coordination of human workers.
Adaptive Swarm Robotics Could Revolutionize Smart Agriculture
The multidisciplinary research team believes that by utilizing swarm robotics to reduce soil compaction and working to avoid herbicide-resistant weeds through nonchemical methods of control, significant ecological and environmental benefits can be achieved.
Honda Tests Prototype Autonomous Work Vehicle at Solar Construction Site with Black & Veatch
Second-generation prototype Honda Autonomous Work Vehicles (AWV) successfully performed a range of functions at large-scale solar energy construction site
Innovations in Assistive Robotics Show Promise for People With Disabilities
Advances in technology over the years have led to a wide range of innovations for people with disabilities. These include quality of life inventions for people with mobility issues as well as speech impairments and even common color blindness.
Blazing the Trail for Flying Robots
As part of a focus project at ETH Zurich, eight Bachelor students built a flying manipulator that can hover in any orientation and grasp objects. The drone is more maneuverable than a quadrocopter and has been designed with the aim of pushing aerial robotics to new heights.
AN IDEA STRENGTHENS THE BACK OF THE WORLD
The turning of the lead screw transfers the motor power to the spring. It presses from the lower belt on the upper belt, supports the upper body and relieves the lumbar spine.
Dancing with the Light: A New Way to Make Crystals Bend by Shining Light
Scientists propose a novel mechanism for inducing high-speed bending in thick crystals by heating them up with light
Automation Means Going Paperless
Paperless automation saves space, money, and boosts security. The ease of transferring information while promoting the environmentally sound choices makes this process logical for all manufacturers, particularly food manufacturers.
Case Study: Autonomous Earthmoving Robots
A new San Francisco-based startup develops AI guidance systems to transform heavy equipment into fully autonomous robots. Their guidance systems are deployed today across the $1 trillion earthmoving industry.
Honey Bees, with the help of Drones, will Find Landmines
Teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have concocted using robots to screen honey bees while they work. An automated vehicle flies around, catching pictures of the bug, which PCs subsequently examine to uncover potential mines covered up in the ground.
