Robots, for all their helpfulness in performing tasks that we would rather not do (usually because those tasks are dangerous or boring), first need to be coded in order to do the work. These specific ...

A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton ...

Flexible electronics such as flexible sensors, flexible circuits, and flexible actuators hold promising applications in robotic systems. They can effectively enhance a robot's intelligence, enabling ...

Rather than designing your own robotic joint by purchasing a series of components, integrating them to provide their best features and coming up with a mounting structure that takes into consideration ...

Humanoid robots are quickly moving from sci-fi prototypes to real-world industrial tools, and Wall Street is paying attention. In a recent research spotlight, Morgan Stanley highlighted a set of ...

Robotic motion is a longstanding R&D goal, and engineers have come up with a huge variety of ways to make robots move. As we've reported, they may slither, crawl, swim. They may even walk, like a ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...
