Even the best batteries fall far short of animal metabolism for energy storage. Fueling robots with ‘food’ could narrow the gap.

An extended-reach model of the high-speed Quattro parallel style robot is designed to expand high-throughput capabilities toward applications with larger work-space requirements. The Quattro s800H is ...

The debate around robots in the workplace often gravitates toward a false dichotomy: human versus machine. As the founder of Humanoid, the U.K.'s first AI humanoid robotics company, I've observed ...

Download this article in .PDF format This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In today’s industrial automation field, robots handle difficult, dangerous ...

Ford, for example, is pairing a robot with engineers to map its facility and create digital blueprints. Aker BP, an oil exploration and development company, is exploring how robots can assume ...

Simulations make it possible to determine work envelopes and cycle times to try out different layouts and techniques. As an example, customers often start out specifying SCARA robots because they have ...

Humanoid robotics company Figure showed off its Figure 02 robot using a sophisticated visual language system to sort packages ...

In many cases, though, the first consideration is the size of the robot’s work envelope. SCARA and 6-axis robots require a large circular (as much as two meter diameter) work envelope to allow ...

That robot could gain the functionalities of a CNC machine tool, including full 5-axis contour surface-machining capabilities, and it could be programmed in minutes to work on any 3- or 5-axis ...

Robots currently don't carry packages or Chinese food orders to your front door. However, as automated drones drop packages on door steps and in backyards, some of those jobs may be replaced, too.

Earlier this year, a robot completed a half-marathon in Beijing in just under 2 hours and 40 minutes. That's slower than the human winner, who clocked in at just over an hour—but it's still a ...
