[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

[Kevin Lynagh] is interested in tiny PCB stepper motors, and after reviewing the various projects and patents to-date, decided to give it a try himself. These are basically a stepper motor that’s been ...

Advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving innovation in robotics, allowing them to expand into new industries with the emergence of smaller and smarter robotic designs.

Robots are everywhere in our imaginations—helping older adults at home, stocking warehouses, cleaning offices, and taking on dangerous jobs that humans shouldn’t have to do. Yet outside of factories ...

Humanoid robots are offering increasingly promising solutions to manufacturing companies that can calculate the ROI (Return on Investment) with improved productivity, product quality, and employee ...

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
