Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

A motion-control algorithm developed by the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL) interprets real-time movement data to adjust ...

Nitin J. Sanket, a professor at WPI, has developed small flying robots with his team that fit in the palm of a hand and use ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new navigation system for robots inspired by how rats, ants, and birds get their ...

The small mound on the back of Waymo's self-driving cars is for sale. The Alphabet-owned autonomous car company is making its "homemade" LiDAR sensor, the Laser Bear Honeycomb, available to other ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Manufactured using digital light processing (DLP) additive techniques, the lattice serves as a bionic musculoskeletal ...

Abstract: In degenerate environments where exteroceptive sensors fail, precise state estimation of quadruped robots depends critically on proprioceptive sensors. Traditional Kalman filters (KFs), ...

The Edge Detection Robot is an intelligent autonomous bot designed to detect and avoid edges or cliffs, preventing accidental falls from elevated surfaces. It uses infrared (IR) or ultrasonic sensors ...
