Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

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 ...

What sets this approach apart is the training method. Instead of painstakingly programming each movement, the robot learned by watching hundreds of videos recorded from wrist-mounted cameras on da ...

Homogeneous vector and plane, homogeneous transformation, position and orientation transformations, kinematics and inverse kinematic solutions of robot manipulators and mobile robots, Jacobian and ...

The newly developed flexible milling kinematics with hybrid drive on a linear axis machines a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) vertical tail plane on a 1:1 scale with high precision. Source | ...

An independent, applied research institute, the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM) in Stade, Germany, is changing the physics of machining – or to be ...

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 ...

Modern PLCs now have enough processing power to handle complex robot calculations that previously required separate proprietary controllers and programming ...
