Robots that are used to manipulate and move parts typically comprise of robotic arm designs with a gripper at the end. Once the arm is moved near the object, the gripper is activated to grasp and hold it for some time. Such grippers are pneumati...
Just like any other industrial machinery, ships are taken out of service every four or five years to execute periodical maintenance. One of the major operations includes the elimination of rust and marine material accumulated to the hull. This also ...
Industrial robotic arms have found wide application in cyclic tasks because repetitive motions are comparatively straightforward to program. However, due to the increased use of industrial robotic arm designs in new domains like art and architecture...
Animatronics involve the utilization of electro-mechanical devices to develop a system that replicates the human body movements. With the rapid demand of animatronic hand in the entertainment industry, that can operate with superior precision and ac...
The development procedure of an animatronic figure is harder than it sounds. Every particular feature follows a specific guideline and demands minute attention from the roboticists. For instance, an animatronic head is comprised of eyes, lips, hair,...
In the field of animatronics and animatronic hobbyists sometimes running wires to a hand or figure is not possible. The good news: wireless data boards are now very reliable and inexpensive! For hobbyists, Arduino compatible controllers and their pro...
Scientific researches in motor neuroscience reveal that the nervous systems of higher category animals are controlled by a modular approach. This means that the complex movements of the muscles are constituted of basic motion primitives and the cent...
One of the significant aspects of humanoid robot design is its emotional impact. This is achieved through intelligent control of the robot’s facial expression. Roboticists are relentlessly trying to merge the gap between the appearance and functio...
