but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment in making a DIY reduced noise ...

ETH Zurich’s AI robot ANYmal-D plays badminton using RL-based control, combining vision, locomotion, and precise arm movements.

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite ...

KAIST's new control framework lets four-legged robots perform parkour, enabling fast, precise navigation in complex terrains.

Engineers have developed a real-life Transformer that has the 'brains' to morph in midair, allowing the drone-like robot to smoothly roll away and begin its ground operations without pause. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel optimal adaptive-gains super-twisting sliding-mode control (OAGSTSMC) using actor-critic approach is proposed for a high-speed permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM ...

Abstract: This paper presents a design and implementation case study that focuses on endpoint position control of a two degree-of-freedom robot with very flexible links. Linear and nonlinear ...
