A faster collision detection algorithm could enable robots to work more fluidly in the operating room or at home for assisted living. The algorithm, dubbed 'Fastron,' runs up to eight times faster ...

Recent advances in robotics have accelerated the development of sophisticated collision detection methodologies and enhanced human–robot interaction (HRI) protocols to ensure safety and optimise ...

The collision detection system also monitors current continuously, detecting position errors in the motor to provide anti-collision capabilities along the entire 7th axis.

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments More sophisticated sensors, such as time-of-flight types of devices, help improve robot-human interaction in the industrial workplace. This file type includes ...

Elephant Robotics expands its myCobot series with the compact 6 DOF collaborative robot arm myCobot Pro 450, featuring harmonic joints for education & commerce. SHENZHEN, GUANGDONG, CHINA, August 5, ...

The researchers will continue to investigate means of preventing an encounter between blade-wielding robot and a person entirely, so the goals are both collision detection and avoidance.

Nature, the master engineer, is coming to our rescue again. Inspired by scorpions, scientists have created new pressure sensors that are both highly sensitive and able to work across a wide variety of ...
