A new concept in space telescope design uses a modular structure and an assembly robot to build an extremely large telescope in space, performing tasks in which astronaut fatigue would be a ...

While robots have been making our lives easier and our assembly lines more efficient for over half a century now, we haven’t quite cracked a Jetsons-like general purpose robot yet. Sure, Bost… ...

The (toy) robot revolution is here, thanks to Modular Robotics KANSAS CITY—Eric Schweikardt got his Ph.D from Carnegie Melon University in the computational design lab, then founded Modular Robotics ...

Numerous new robotic technologies have debuted over the past two decades, but the new ATRO robot system from Beckhoff may be one of the first modular, DIY (do-it-yourself) robot technologies for the ...

Abdel-Rahman and colleagues introduce a discrete modular material-robot system that is capable of serial, recursive (making more robots), and hierarchical (making larger robots) assembly.

Anyone who would like to learn more about designing and building robots may be interested in new robot modular construction kit which has been created by a developer based in Spain. Emme has been ...

The robot is largely hollow, built of modular voxels that can be assembled to create systems that are both rigid and soft.

Modular robot joints typically incorporate a frameless motor with a large through-hole to simplify wiring, assembly and installation. Additional benefits include high power density, exceptional ...

ABB ROBOTICS added two modular large robots to its portfolio, the IRB 7710 and IRB 7720. Together with the previously introduced IRB 5710-IRB 5720 and IRB 6710-IRB 6740, this series offers 46 ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

MMS Modular Molding Systems created a system using Stäubli robots to fully automate a tire pressure sensor assembly capable of producing a complete sensor every six seconds.
