6 Emerging Trends in Marine Robotics

Recent innovations are transforming the field of marine robots. Aquatic robotics is already a cutting-edge sector, taking complex technologies and applying them to underwater tasks.

Simulating Heat Transfer in Power Cables Using the Finite Element Method (FEM)

Choosing the right cable to use in any application depends on many parameters. One of the most important is its ability to thermally resist a maximum imposed current.

Why Are You Still Manually Programming Your Robot?

Robots were first introduced to manufacturing assembly lines in 1978. Since then, the hardware (mechanics and control systems) has improved significantly. Yet the way these robots are programmed has not changed very much.

Medical Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation

Harmonic Bionics has developed a patented robotic actuator, which uses a load cell that is mechanically isolated from any extraneous loads. The result is that each load cell can sense the force exerted by only the joint of the robot it is mounted to.

Working With Robots With Different Levels of Collaboration

By working with robots, employees can gain valuable technical skills and perform their jobs more efficiently. There are varying levels of collaboration that businesses can implement and strategies they can use to make sure collaborative robots are safe.

Robotic Disruption in US Workforce Leads to New Opportunities and Challenges

The workforce is becoming increasingly robotic, and that shift is happening faster than many anticipated. Here's a look at the opportunities and challenges that creates.

Engineers Meet Industry Demand By Growing Their Robotics & IAS Expertise

For engineers with a traditional background in mechanical, electrical or computer engineering, specializing in IAS can accelerate their career progression and potentially make them more money.

High Performance Inertial Sensors for Robotic Systems

The next generation of robotic systems require high performance inertial sensors but also demand high volume, low cost solutions.

Smart, Compact Electromechanical Actuators Improve Productivity and Space Efficiency for Industrial AGVs

The more functionality AGV designers can pack into a small footprint, the greater will be the value to the end-user. Choosing the right actuation technology is critical to that value, and AGV designers are increasingly choosing smart electromechanical actuators.

ABB Robotics showcases future of retail using recovered marine plastic at London's Selfridges

Konoike Transport and OSARO Team Up to Pilot Japan's First Fully Automated Warehouse

Pilot aims to streamline handoff from warehouse inventory robots to picking robots so that businesses can automate and scale-up e-commerce operations despite national manual labor shortage

Understanding The Opportunities for AI-Cameras and LiDARs for Smart Road Infrastructure

With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G network connectivity, smart-road infrastructure technology offers the promise of being added to many different roads, bridges, and other transit systems across the U.S.

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.

Making Robotic Programming Easier for the Fabrication Industry

OLRP provides a virtual environment to complete robot programming without taking the robot offline, thereby simplifying complex and time-consuming programming.

In Celebration of National Robotics Week, iRobot® Launches the Create® 3 Educational Robot

Now with ROS 2 and Python Support, Create 3 provides educators and advanced makers with a reliable, out of the box alternative to costly and labor-intensive robotics kits that require assembly and testing.

The piCOBOT Electric vacuum generator

The piCOBOT Electric vacuum generator

Fully electric, slim design and absence of air-tubing and cabling. The new piCOBOT® Electric heads towards another success for Piab's piCOBOT® program. A secondary effect of these achievements is the absence of entangling air tubing and cabling. It simplifies the installation, and as the new piCOBOT® Electric only needs a single connection on the cobot arm, the clean set-up allows a completely unrestricted movement. The new piCOBOT® Electric package will contain plug & play software to fit UR e-series cobots, but many other useful adaptations will be introduced in the coming year
