Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) represent an innovative class of robotic systems that utilise flexible cables to actuate a moving platform. This design offers significant advantages over ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

Up until now, we haven’t really been able to accurately track the flight path of certain insects because they're too small and too quick. But researchers have developed a cable-driven parallel robot, ...

Graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built the first graffiti-painting robot system that mimics the fluidity of human movement.

The race to develop the first commercially available humanoid robot has been primarily concentrated in the US – until now. mimic, a Switzerland-based startup, is challenging US dominance and joining ...

Researchers have developed a digital laboratory (dLab) system that fully automates the material synthesis and structural, physical property evaluation of thin-film samples. With dLab, the team can ...

Robots in factories today are powerful and precise, but dumb as toast. A new robot arm, developed by a team of researchers from UC Berkeley, is meant to change that by providing a cheap-yet-powerful ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Living organisms have inspired research of soft robotics that mimic the complex motion of animals and plants. However, current soft robots have limited or no sensory capabilities, ...
