Proprietary systems have traditionally dominated the control of three and four-axis wafer handling robots for in-vacuum and in-air wafer applications. As a result, these systems can be limited in ...

For decades, Hollywood has trained us to fear the moment machines become self-aware. The second someone says “autonomous ...

Human–robot interaction (HRI) and gesture-based control systems represent a rapidly evolving research field that seeks to bridge the gap between human intuition and robotic precision. This area ...

A full-size humanoid robot named Adam is drawing attention by performing the Charleston, a dance known for demanding timing, ...

Teleoperation systems constitute an essential field in robotics, enabling human operators to control distant or hazardous environments through remote interfaces. These systems integrate advanced ...

Yet, despite all this progress, there’s one question I hear again and again from warehouse operators: Why aren’t we getting ...

AeroVironment has agreed to acquire robotic control system maker Tomahawk Robotics for approximately $120 million in a push to further extend the interoperability and interconnectivity of unmanned ...

This research has broken through the limitations of traditional rehabilitation robot control methods, which often rely on fixed or variable impedance control with no consideration for the patient's ...

In an office at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a soft robotic hand carefully curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The intriguing part isn't the mechanical ...

Electric motors are devices that transform electrical energy into mechanical energy, which may be used to move articulated systems. The electric motor must be capable of producing substantial torque ...

A scientist has explained why robots still struggle to pick tomatoes. Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing ...
