Simulating Heat Transfer in Power Cables Using the Finite Element Method (FEM)
Choosing the right cable to use in any application depends on many parameters. One of the most important is its ability to thermally resist a maximum imposed current.
Why Are You Still Manually Programming Your Robot?
Robots were first introduced to manufacturing assembly lines in 1978. Since then, the hardware (mechanics and control systems) has improved significantly. Yet the way these robots are programmed has not changed very much.
Medical Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation
Harmonic Bionics has developed a patented robotic actuator, which uses a load cell that is mechanically isolated from any extraneous loads. The result is that each load cell can sense the force exerted by only the joint of the robot it is mounted to.
Engineers Meet Industry Demand By Growing Their Robotics & IAS Expertise
For engineers with a traditional background in mechanical, electrical or computer engineering, specializing in IAS can accelerate their career progression and potentially make them more money.
High Performance Inertial Sensors for Robotic Systems
The next generation of robotic systems require high performance inertial sensors but also demand high volume, low cost solutions.
Smart, Compact Electromechanical Actuators Improve Productivity and Space Efficiency for Industrial AGVs
The more functionality AGV designers can pack into a small footprint, the greater will be the value to the end-user. Choosing the right actuation technology is critical to that value, and AGV designers are increasingly choosing smart electromechanical actuators.
Understanding The Opportunities for AI-Cameras and LiDARs for Smart Road Infrastructure
With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G network connectivity, smart-road infrastructure technology offers the promise of being added to many different roads, bridges, and other transit systems across the U.S.
Using an LVDT as a Robotic Micrometer or Automated Height Gauge
Collaborative robots can be used to automate measurements currently made with manual micrometers, height gauges, and calipers. In this article, we'll look at how to automate each of these manual gauging tools.
Making Robotic Programming Easier for the Fabrication Industry
OLRP provides a virtual environment to complete robot programming without taking the robot offline, thereby simplifying complex and time-consuming programming.
Time of Flight Forges Ahead: Design Tips to Boost 3D Performance and Cut Integration Time & Cost
Our newest hands-on guidebook describes how you can optimize the benefits of Time of Flight by considering various factors such as the environment of the application and the target object properties in the scene.
ATX West and IME West 2022 Product Preview
ATX West and IME West 2022 takes place April 12th - 14th in Anaheim, California. The Exhibit hall floor will be loaded with new products and services. Here is a preview of some things to look forward to at this years event.
Three Reasons to Robotize Soldering Operations
As electronics get smaller and manufacturers come under greater pressure to improve efficiency and throughput, the traditional hand soldering method is no longer up to scratch.
Robotic Resources: How Autonomous Technologies Enhance Human Capabilities
In general, the more data an artificial intelligence device can capture, the better it will perform. This fact may influence some businesses to use specific robots and autonomous machines that are designed to be compatible with their existing technologies.
Automation for the Pharmaceutical Industry, Laboratories and Analysis.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis at the latest, the pharmaceutical industry and laboratories have been under pressure to realize the highest possible levels of automation.
How Computers Deliver the Ability to See
Advances in semiconductors have led to dramatic developments in a wide range of sensor and camera technologies, including sensors/cameras for area scan and line scan, IP/network, 3D, and thermal imaging platforms.
