Novanta discusses the development of the sensors, motors, and actuators necessary for the development of safe humanoids.

A growing trend in encoder technology is the integration of additional sensors to add diagnostic functions and handle thermal and/or vibration issues. For example, an encoder mounted on a robot’s arm ...

Explore how predictive maintenance in robotics uses real-time data and machine learning to forecast failures, reduce downtime ...

As products and their components get smaller, the processes to produce them require manufacturers to find new ways to get the job done. For US Digital, which had to deal with tiny Mylar disks for its ...

Developing a new automation system is never easy. There were occasional roadblocks along the way, but with perseverance US Digital designed an entirely new system, based on a delta robot, and achieved ...

Manufacturers need encoders, but they don’t really want to think about them. Encoders are arguably one of the most necessary sensors in manufacturing, but many aren’t sure what to consider when ...

Charles Pao, CEVA For robot navigation applications, it’s important to have accurate data on position and heading, provided by multiple sensors. If your robot doesn’t know where it is, or which way it ...
