To fully understand the advantages, compare and contrast cartesian robots with other six-axis articulated robots. Moving an object from one location to another—picking and placing—is an ideal ...

One of the jobs for which robots are best suited is the tedious, repetitive “pick and place” task common in warehouses — but humans are still much better at it. UC Berkeley researchers are picking up ...

We’d be entirely wrong to think that Fichertechnik is just a toy for kids. It’s also perfect for prototyping the control system of robots. [davidatfsg]’s recent entry in the Hackaday Prize, Delta ...

Robots are increasingly populating — and in some cases taking over — the workplace, performing tasks that humans aren’t capable of, or making others more efficient. But they can’t do it all just yet.

Robot researchers have long looked at the science of Kinematics and particularly how it applies to parallel robotics as providing novel solutions to robotic problems. Robot researchers have long ...

How do you build a robot that can pack fruit? Or pick up produce without hurting it? In an era where agricultural firms are facing labor shortages and the average worker in the field is 46, automation ...

When it comes to part-picking robots, they're typically programmed to grasp a specific object in a specific fashion – such as a car part on an assembly line. Scientists from MIT and Princeton ...

They build cars, assemble TV panels and vacuum floors. But can robotsbuild an iPhone? For Foxconn, the manufacturing giant that builds Apple’s iPhone, it’s an enticing prospect, and one that could not ...
