Hengbot Sirius is a small AI robotic dog that can be trained by users with "manual teaching" and by developers using tools ...

The inclusion of sensors is imperative to their automation, however, developers need to take care when choosing which sensors to incorporate in the design. As stated previously, sensor type, ...

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 ...

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 ...

High accuracy localization is important for mobile robots in a variety of scenarios, including domestic and public places. In this paper, we present a fusion approach for indoor localization of a ...

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 ...

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 ...

The most commonly used encoder are optical encoders.“Inside these encoders is a disk with opaque and transparent areas, usually in a pattern of lines and windows,” said Donowitz. “An LED array shines ...
