The primary uses for inertial sensors are platform stability and global positioning, but we are seeing increasing use as feedback in articulated limbs.

Let’s explore some common misconceptions about conveyors, as well as some pros and cons of conveyor alternatives.

In analyzing the geography of the 152 companies that received investment, there were striking differences to 2016. While in terms of the number of investments were largely similar, with the United States retaining over half the number of individual investments.

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a device that directly measures the three linear acceleration components and the three rotational rate components (6-DOF) of a vehicle.

Important functions provided on an ejector, and in particular all-in-one ejector, can be summarized in three major categories.

Traditional robots have been designed to perform a single task extremely efficiently. But when the item or the task changes, which is often the case with food, these traditional machines need to be reintegrated and reprogrammed

Focus Auto Design Inc. originally purchased a used robot two years ago to make the jump into automating their business. However, they were manually programming this robot which took time and resources that held their business back from its optimal performance.

In the past evaluating automation was typically about the Return On Investment (ROI), but more and more companies are considering automation because they are not able to staff their current manual operations.

The high-costs and inefficiency of last-mile delivery make it prime real estate for automation, with the autonomous delivery market looking poised for exponential growth in the coming years.

By using this unmanned technology, scientists have the rare opportunity to study the effects of the lava entering the ocean, the plume it creates and the interactions of the lava and seawater directly from the surface of the ocean.

These exhibitors will be displaying cutting-edge airframes, components, software and services as well as end-to-end solutions focused on commercial applications.

Join Grant Imahara in meeting with KUKA to learn how human-robot collaboration and robot learning is transforming the workplace. Is Industry 4.0 a future where robots and humans all hold hands? Tune in to see.

TE Connectivity's HDC Dynamic Module integrates the Dynamic series flexible signal and power solutions and the HDC Heavy Duty Connector series to form a solution of harsh environment connectors. TE's HDC Dynamic Module offers the top features of the two series. It uses the contact concept of the Dynamic series, with its proven performance in industrial uses and its cost effectiveness compared to legacy cutting contacts. The HDC connectors make the module a reliable solution for harsh environments. TE's HDC Dynamic Module supports 2A/32V to 40A/300V performance and 3 positions to 48 positions.

We solve the motion platform problem with a combination of innovative techniques. These include: an extremely accurate sensor system, high speed computing, optimized power to weight ratio, and 3D printed parts.

In the past few years, we have found that ultra-short pulse (USP) lasers are being used more and more for medical device manufacturing – from stents and catheters, to wire stripping and balloon texturing.
