Dynamic balancing underpins the performance and reliability of both complex mechanisms and advanced robotic systems. By optimising mass distribution and inertia properties, engineers can substantially ...

(A) A multi-degrees of freedom forceps manipulator. (B) Articulated manipulator for minimally invasive surgery. (C) Single­port laparoscopy bimanual robot. (D) Multigear array mechanism. A review ...

Researchers demonstrate that robots can be designed to react to their environment and perform tasks by programming ...

Even the oldest of mechanisms remain useful in modern technology. [Skyentific] has been messing with robotic joints for quite a while, and demonstrated an interesting way to use a pulley system in a ...

The innovation could pave the way for medical tools that move through the body’s arteries or inspection devices that crawl ...

Endoscopy devices which are flexible and passes through narrow passages rely on rigid surgical tools to manipulate or remove tissue. But these tools reduce dexterity and sensing, limiting the current ...

The company revealed that the system’s Teleoperation Module enables real-time remote control of the Aero Hand Open using data ...

In order for a soft-bodied robot to be practical, it has to be simple, light and energy-efficient, yet still reasonably quick. A newly developed mechanism fits the bill, and it's inspired by the ...

From sorting objects in a warehouse to navigating furniture while vacuuming, robots today use sensors, software control ...
