Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Previous Delta robots have used three universal joints to move the end effector up and down, and side to side. They’re extremely fast and are a great design for 3D printers and pick and place machines ...

When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In a study appearing in Scientific Reports, ...

The new design could be adapted to sort warehouse products, unload heavy cargo, or help lift patients out of bed.

Here’s a party trick: Try opening a bottle of water using your thumb and pointer finger while holding it without spilling. It sounds simple, but the feat requires strength, dexterity, and coordination ...

As AI powered prosthetic arms become more advanced, a surprising detail could determine whether they truly feel like part of the body: how fast they move.

Here’s some nightmare fuel from the world of robotics: a robot arm with a six-fingered hand that can detach itself and crawl around on its own. The contraption is the invention of a team from the ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

While Silicon Valley tech giants spend billions on the future of AI, a group of high school students prove innovation is coming from young builders. Their vision began with a need for caffeine and a ...

New AI training allows assistive robots to move both arms naturally, helping them perform household tasks more safely and efficiently.

What happens when artificial intelligence (AI) moves from painting portraits to designing homes? That question is no longer theoretical. At the Utzon Center in Denmark, Ai-Da Robot, the world's first ...
