The movement capability of humanoid robots starts at the joints. Harmonic joint modules are the core enabler of agile motion.

RealMan said its servo joints deliver high torque density, fast dynamic response, high precision, reliability, and cost ...

One of the challenges with humanoid robots, besides keeping them upright, is finding compact combinations of actuators and joint mechanisms that allow for good range of smooth motion while still ...

Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...

[Tim] needed very small, motorized joints for a robot. Unable to find anything to fit the bill, he designed his own tiny, robotic joints. Not only are these articulated and motorized, they are ...

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 ...

A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion or ...

Texas A&M engineers led by Ana Diaz Artiles are developing soft robotic technology that could make future "SmartSuit" space suits for planetary exploration more safe, comfortable, and energy efficient ...

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 ...

Mike Compton, 63, says it was his long history of playing sports, from high school football, basketball and track, to college football and track at UND, that caused the “wear and tear” on his hip that ...

GOSHEN — Goshen Health presented an all-new robot that orthopedic surgeons have been using to make joint replacement easier and more accurate Tuesday morning. The Mako SmartRobotics system has been in ...

Osteoarthritis can cause three surfaces of the knee to deteriorate. If only one or two of those areas are damaged, patients can avoid total knee replacement. Partial knee replacement using a new ...
