In essence, without robust flexible cables, collaborative robots (cobots) and smart factory equipment would suffer frequent downtimes and failures, as standard cables cannot survive the dynamic ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

The RuggedNet GHPoEBT/Mi is a managed PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ Industrial Ethernet switch that features fiber or copper uplink ...

Cable cars are certainly handy for transporting cargo up steep mountain slopes, but what if you want to do the same sort of thing on a much smaller scale? Well, you could try using a tiny new ...

This study presents a bio-inspired control framework for soft robots, enhancing tracking accuracy by over 44% under ...

Researchers have created a lightweight, cable-climbing robot equipped with a computer vision system to detect surface defects on bridge stay cables. The system achieved over 92 % detection precision ...

Scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have unveiled a novel hybrid-driven origami gripper, designed to tackle the challenge of grasping and manipulating objects with unprecedented versatility ...

When people ask “will robots will take my job,” they often picture automation replacing human workers. But the real question isn’t whether robots will take jobs—it’s how they will change the way work ...
