A Technical Guide to Custom Versus Standard Servo Drives
In this white paper, we'll identify some scenarios and use cases where customization delivers meaningful value — helping you determine when standard drives suffice and when custom solutions justify the investment.
Why Every Robot Teleoperation Team Eventually Outgrows WebRTC
WebRTC gets robotics teams to a demo fast. It also breaks the moment the robot leaves the lab. If you are running WebRTC today, the question is not whether you will outgrow it but when, and what the next six months of engineering will be spent on while you do.
The Steam Controller and an Industrial Robot: An Unexpected Intersection
A standard wireless controller may seem far removed from the factory floor. ENCY Software's work on ENCY Hyper shows why tactile, analog input can still matter when programming industrial robots and cobots.
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.
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.
The Mass Penalty Spiral: Why Humanoid Robotics Needs "Physical AI"
This article explores the "Mass Penalty Spiral" and why the transition to Physical AI is the only path toward viable humanoid deployment.
How Kollmorgen Motion System Powers a Cable Robot to Triple Throughput
Designed for extra-large work envelopes, the ROCAP spans up to 900 m², lifts payloads up to 250 kg, and supports a wide range of end effectors. Anchored to the facility's existing structure, it eliminates the need for bulky gantries and rails.
An Electric Column for the Automation of a Container Twist Lock Handler
TiMOTION supports the robotics students at the Technical University Delft by providing them with an industrial electric lifting column to automate container twist lock handling. Robust and stable, our electric linear actuator met all their expectations!
Semiconductor Innovations for the Next Generation of Robots
Each motor requires high power density and precise control, all packed into a small form factor. TI's technology reduces the size of the board by integrating FETs, drivers and current sensing into one package.
What are the motion control requirements for additive manufacturing machines?
3D printed objects can include intricate machine components, through to edible items, and as a result, the additive material could range from powdered metals to chocolate. Whatever the material and shape required, functionally, the 3D printing technique is the same.
Optimizing Wheel Drives for AGVs and AMRs: What OEMs Need to Know About Motion Control
The motor and actuator selection behind each wheel can make or break the success of the entire system. In this post, we'll explore the core challenges in mobile robot drive systems and how customized motion control solutions from DINGS' Motion USA can help you meet them.
Elmo Launches New Titanium Product Line and Platinum Servo Drives at SPS 2025, Redefining Limits of Motion Control

High-Precision RV Reducers Perfectly Matched for Walking Robots
RV reducers provide extremely high rigidity, precision, and torque while maintaining a compact size and exceptional reliability, making them an ideal match for the demanding requirements of walking robot joints in terms of load capacity, impact resistance, and precision.
The Emergence of Mechatronic Subsystems and Their Importance in Product Deployment
A mechatronic subsystem is a fully integrated functional unit that combines mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, and control elements into a single pre-engineered solution.
Why Sensor Resolution Matters More Than You Think in Vibration Control
In high-precision motion control systems like those used in precision manufacturing, the terms "sensor resolution" and "servo bandwidth" are often tossed around interchangeably, sometimes even confused as being functionally synonymous. But they're not.
