[Ray Kampmeier] just finished writing some code to allow him to control his robotic arm using force-sensitive hand gestures! He calls it the Robo Marionette. He’s using a MeArm 4 DOF robotic arm, a ...

One of the perennial challenges of building robots is minimizing the size and weight of drive systems while preserving power. One established way to do this, at least on robots with joints, is to fit ...

Abstract: Service robots across industrial, medical, and domestic environments face significant challenges in flattening garments, due to their nearly infinite degrees of freedom and complex dynamic ...

Abstract: Owing to the confined spatial constraints on the exterior of oil pipelines, the capability of a wall-climbing robot to inspect the welds is impeded by its lack of rotational mobility. To ...
