Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the new design approach optimizes how rolling joints are designed on a computer. It does so by simultaneously adjusting the shape of each ...

Harvard SEAS researchers have developed a mathematical framework for optimizing the design of rolling contact joints, which are made of rolling surfaces and flexible connectors. To demonstrate their ...

Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...

Switching from one smartphone to another is mostly a smooth procedure. You log into your accounts and your apps, preferences, and contacts should sync to the new ...

Life Westville Hospital has completed its 250th robotic joint replacement procedure, marking a significant achievement in the use of advanced orthopaedic technology. The milestone highlights the ...

How humanoid robots use high-performance motors to replicate precise, coordinated human movement. Why high-frequency GaN power stages enable compact, efficient motor drives inside tightly packed ...

The dead graveyard of smart home robots that proved smarter than you hoped and more useless than you imagined is long and includes everything from Honda's ASIMO to Sony's AIBO when it stopped playing ...
