Using FPGA Supercomputers to Build a High Precision Robot
We solve the motion platform problem with a combination of innovative techniques. These include: an extremely accurate sensor system, high speed computing, optimized power to weight ratio, and 3D printed parts.
Ultra-Short Pulse Lasers Are Great Tools for Processing Plastics for Medical Devices
In the past few years, we have found that ultra-short pulse (USP) lasers are being used more and more for medical device manufacturing - from stents and catheters, to wire stripping and balloon texturing.

How Robotics Can Transform Agriculture
Its not a stretch to imagine solo and small farm owners keeping up with the major organizations in the business thanks to improved efficiency, maximized output and faster harvest and care times.
Argon Medical Addresses High Labor Costs and Productivity with MiR Robot
The company has turned to collaborative automation to help it compete in this high-cost labor market, while preserving jobs for its skilled, long-term employees.
The World of Insect Cyborgs
Instead of attempting to produce complex robots that mimic the insect form, researchers have hijacked bugs to turn them into robots. These cyborg insects have varied uses, from spying to search-and-rescue missions.
Trends in Conveyor Systems and Technology
Conveyors today are built to your specifications to improve efficiency and output of your production line. Theres no reason to settle for a conveyor thats being shoe-horned into your application
Protecting your Robot with Robosuit
A Robosuit® is a conformal, custom-fitted cover that protects a robot from extreme manufacturing (or operating) conditions. It fits over the robots castings and servo motors without impacting the robots articulation or work-envelope (reach).
Exoskeleton Market to Accrue Commendable Gains via Healthcare Applications Over 2017-2024
Exoskeletons are rapidly gaining momentum across myriad geographies. The huge presence of exosuit manufacturers and escalated product demand across military & healthcare sectors are anticipated to stimulate North America exoskeleton industry outlook.
DC Motor/Gearmotor "MTBF" A Few Facts About Life Expectancy
If the duty is continuous, that means the motor, if properly sized, will reach thermal equilibrium typically in about 20 Minutes of continual operation (possibly more, depending on the size of the unit).
Want a Job With Robots? 5 Amazing Careers for Robots Enthusiasts
With more and more industries utilizing robots to make the workplace safer by automating dangerous jobs or to simplify menial tasks, positions are continuously being created for people who are passionate about robotics.
Conventional vs. Robotic Palletizing
Rather than getting immersed in ambiguous statistics and marketing buzzwords like flexible or fixed automation, this paper looks at the specific applications that favor each technology to chart the future of palletizing automation.
Self-healing Circuits
We have created electronic circuitry that is soft and stretchable and capable of spontaneously reforming electrical connections when the material is cut, torn, or punctured. It is made of microscopic droplets of liquid metal that are suspended in a soft silicone rubber.
Case Study: Epson Robots at Taylor Guitars
The main feature that I like is just that it has kept the precision and repeatability over the last 5 years and we havent had to worry, we havent had to replace any parts. We have done virtually no maintenance what-so-ever.
How Sensors are Moving Materials Handling Towards Safe Automation
Affordable, highly accurate and extremely reliable sensing systems and controls are fueling the rise of AGV solutions for a wide range of material handling applications in warehouses, factories and industrial facilities.
