Robotic arms and legs provide robots with reach and the ability to affect the robot’s position and its environment. This book examines the process of controlling and tracking robotic limbs. It ...

A Columbia Engineering team has created a robot that is able to learn a model of its entire body from scratch. In a nutshell, the robot created a kinematic model of itself and used it to “plan motion, ...

The design of a standard robot arm is, more or less, a mechanized representation of an idealized human arm, replete with elbow and wrist joints. Such designs tend to be unwieldy in confined spaces, ...

A robotic arm is an excellent idea if you’re looking to get started with electromechanical projects. There’s linkages to design, and motors to drive, but there’s also the matter of control. This is ...

The BionicSoftHand should rotate a 12-sided cube so that a previously defined side points upward at the end. The human hand boasts a unique combination of power, dexterity, and fine motor skills. We ...

[Jochen Alt] is on a roll. We just covered his ball-balancing robot, Paul, only to find his phenomenal six-DOF robot arm in full retro style. Its name is “Walter” and it’s done up in DDR style (the ...

If you are considering building your very own robotic arm you may be interested in a new high-performance DIY robot arm built by computer scientist Pavel Surynek. The Real Robot One or RR1 has 6 (6 ...

What if building a robotic arm didn’t require a massive budget or a team of engineers? Imagine a device capable of delivering smooth, precise movements for studio applications, constructed for less ...

It is necessary to install the extravehicular experimental load by using the load plate in the space station. However, the extravehicular environment is full of danger, which poses a threat to the ...
