Researchers have developed a mathematical framework to design knee-like joints in robots, called rolling ...

For a low-cost solution, Karthik Urs, then at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and his colleagues 3D printed a robot with legs that can be adapted to match those of various species — complete ...

Consider the marvelous physics of the human knee. The largest hinge joint in the body, it has two rounded bones held together ...

The Atlas humanoid robot, unveiled last year by Boston Dynamics, a company later acquired by Google, is a marvel. It can clamber over rubble and operate power tools. But these abilities don’t come ...

Robots are being increasingly used in industrial processes because of their ability to carry out repetitive tasks in a precise, reliable way. Right now, digital controllers are used to drive the ...

Robotic arms, also called industrial robots, are also referred to as mechanical arms. These are devices whose functionality is the same as that of human hands. They have several joints which enable ...

Getting robots to carry out repetitive tasks precisely and untiringly is relatively easy. Getting them to do it in the most efficient way possible is another thing entirely. Unai Ugalde-Olea, lecturer ...

A Chinese robotics company put its automated production line for robot joints into operation on Sunday, marking a key leap for the embodied artificial intelligence (AI) industry to progress from ...

The next time you see someone doing the dance "The robot," it might not be accurate in the world of modern robotics. Scientists at the University of Sussex, the University of Belgrade, and the ...
