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

Robotic arms and legs provide robots with reach and the ability to affect the robot’s position and its environment. This book examines the process of controlling and tracking robotic limbs. It ...

[Jochen Alt] is on a roll. We just covered his ball-balancing robot, Paul, only to find his phenomenal six-DOF robot arm in full retro style. Its name is “Walter” and it’s done up in DDR style (the ...

A robotic arm is an excellent idea if you’re looking to get started with electromechanical projects. There’s linkages to design, and motors to drive, but there’s also the matter of control. This is ...

A Columbia Engineering team has created a robot that is able to learn a model of its entire body from scratch. In a nutshell, the robot created a kinematic model of itself and used it to “plan motion, ...

If you have ever dreamt of owning your own precision robotic arm you might be interested in the MyCobot 280 Pi. An advanced robotic arm that is powered by the Raspberry Pi mini PC and is reshaping the ...

A new breed of robotic solutions, emphasizing high speed operation and tight integration with general purpose motion/machine control, is offering flexible robotic solutions for packaging OEMs. “What ...

The design of a standard robot arm is, more or less, a mechanized representation of an idealized human arm, replete with elbow and wrist joints. Such designs tend to be unwieldy in confined spaces, ...
