Motion control and robotics insights Motion control and robotics maintenance requires strong understand of all the components and mechanisms in a motor and a robot, which are sometimes intertwined. Robots can have up to 6-7 axes of motion or as few as 3. Figure 5: Robot coordinate axes and right-hand rule.

In addition to make autonomous vehicles safer for everyday use, they also can help robots and other machines that need to “see” in challenging environments, making them safer for more applications. This form of LiDAR is integrated onto a computer chip. Professor Li said. “If At its core, this device is not too complicated.

This technique could improve pressure-monitoring bandages, touch-sensing robots and other objects that rely on gathering data from the surface. Now that we’ve cleared this scaling hurdle, we can explore questions like: Can we use this material to make robotic skin that has a human-like sense of touch?

Material Science Insights A new rubber-like material could aid in the creation of “soft robots” capable of motion without utilizing gears or other hard components. They say similar materials could one day help embody “soft robots” (those that don’t need gears or other hard components to move) to leap or lift.
