Rebel Robot Helps Researchers Understand Human-machine Cooperation

11/04/19, 07:29 AM | Mobile Robots | Research and Reports

In a new twist on human-robot research, computer scientists at the University of Bristol have developed a handheld robot that first predicts then frustrates users by rebelling against their plans, thereby demonstrating an understanding of human intention.

The Human Touch

10/31/19, 08:17 AM | Mobile Robots | Technology Discussions

Global development and technology consultancy Cambridge Consultants has developed a robot that can emulate human touch. Hank uses sensors and soft grippers controlled by airflows.

Making the Move to Mobile

10/30/19, 07:44 AM | Mobile Robots | AMRs

Using a myriad of technology including sensors, lidar, infrared and machine vision, mobile robots are now able to operate in less stable environments. This means that mobile robots are no longer simple, guided machines.

US Digital Automates Production Process Using Robot and In-House Engineering Talent

10/29/19, 08:10 AM | Industrial Robotics | encoders | US Digital

When US Digital released the E4T Miniature Optical Kit Encoder it needed to update manufacturing procedures to better handle the miniaturized encoder disks. The company decided to use automation and built the delta robot system above.

The Surgical Robot that Unfolds Inside the Abdomen

10/28/19, 08:35 AM | Mobile Robots | Medical and Service | maxon group

The start-up company NISI (HK) Limited is currently developing a miniature surgical robot that can be inserted though natural openings in the body and only unfolds inside the abdomen.

AI Apocalypse

10/24/19, 09:52 AM | Mobile Robots, Other Topics | ai

AI systems are able to learn better ways of exemplifying data without human intervention and build models that match human values. When humans can't decide how to designate values, AI systems could identify configurations and create suitable models by themselves.

Slotless Brushless Servo Motors Improve Machine Performance.

10/24/19, 09:52 AM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation | motor, servo | Infranor Inc.

From the outside it looks just like any other industrial brushless servo motor but inside it utilized advanced manufacturing techniques to provide higher torque, higher speed, smoother operation, higher efficiency, and better inertial matching in a smaller package.
