For more than half a century, robots have played an ever-increasing role in manufacturing, successfully transforming industries ranging from automobiles to electronics to consumer goods. As their ...

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

A unique industry collaboration has produced a new robot that could increase the speed and accuracy of layouts with the help of virtual design and construction technology. Called Project Lion, the ...

Bringing the total precision of a well-detailed BIM environment to the controlled chaos of the construction jobsite is still a work in progress. The real-world challenges of layout and site ...

I usually save the interesting dev kits for a holiday when I have a chance to really play with them. This is why I was looking forward to checking out Digilent's latest kit from its Mechatronics ...

Robot builders make a convincing case that in 2001, robots are where personal computers were in 1980-poised to break into the marketplace as common corporate tools and ubiquitous consumer products ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...

READY Robotics developed a customizable palletizing system called READY Cells: Palletizing that can support up to 30 packages per minute. It is robot-agnostic, making it interoperable with most ...

There are some tasks that traditional robots -- the rigid and metallic kind -- simply aren't cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with people more safely or slip ...
