Dynamic balancing underpins the performance and reliability of both complex mechanisms and advanced robotic systems. By optimising mass distribution and inertia properties, engineers can substantially ...

Rolling robots and mechanisms represent a dynamic research field at the intersection of mechanical design, advanced control and materials engineering. These systems harness innovative kinematic ...

In order for a soft-bodied robot to be practical, it has to be simple, light and energy-efficient, yet still reasonably quick. A newly developed mechanism fits the bill, and it's inspired by the ...

An egg-cracking beam relies on a hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism similar to that used by mantis shrimp and jumping fleas. Credit: Seoul National University. We usually think of robots as being ...

Porcospino Flex does not rely on multiple tracks or complex joints. Instead, it uses a single continuous track that wraps ...

How can programmed failure protocols help improve sheet-based fluidic devices, the latter of which have become a cornerstone in enhancing soft robotics worldwide? This is what a recent study published ...

Abstract: This article explores the critical role of global service and support mechanisms in optimizing large-scale robotics operations. It examines how integrating advanced technologies such as ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...

MotionGen Pro is the kind of application capable of transforming the robotics and mechanical engineering industry by making it far more accessible. This application enables you to design and animate ...

Researchers demonstrate that robots can be designed to react to their environment and perform tasks by programming intelligence into their structure, with minimal electronics. (Nanowerk News) From ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...
