Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...

A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion or ...

The HEJ 90 combines a brushless motor, precision gearbox, encoder, servo drive and thermal monitoring into a sealed joint ...

Robotic arms, also called industrial robots, are also referred to as mechanical arms. These are devices whose functionality is the same as that of human hands. They have several joints which enable ...

Getting robots to carry out repetitive tasks precisely and untiringly is relatively easy. Getting them to do it in the most efficient way possible is another thing entirely. Unai Ugalde-Olea, lecturer ...

A New York company and two utilities have a cost-effective solution to the nation’s aging underground infrastructure: a robot that crawls through cast-iron natural-gas pipelines and replaces their ...

Joint replacement surgery has entered a new era with the rise of smart robotic technology – a sophisticated approach that blends 3D imaging, data-driven planning, and robotic assistance. This ...

One of the challenges with humanoid robots, besides keeping them upright, is finding compact combinations of actuators and joint mechanisms that allow for good range of smooth motion while still ...

Mike Compton, 63, says it was his long history of playing sports, from high school football, basketball and track, to college football and track at UND, that caused the “wear and tear” on his hip that ...

[Tim] needed very small, motorized joints for a robot. Unable to find anything to fit the bill, he designed his own tiny, robotic joints. Not only are these articulated and motorized, they are ...

Osteoarthritis can cause three surfaces of the knee to deteriorate. If only one or two of those areas are damaged, patients can avoid total knee replacement. Partial knee replacement using a new ...

There is a lot of buzz these days in the manufacturing sector about robots — and how they can help manufacturers address some of the challenges they face in today’s market, such as increased ...
