Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

With the explosion in robotic technologies that has occurred in the past decade, it’s important to realize there are three categories of robots: industrial, commercial and consumer. Within each ...

Most mobile robots are designed to perform a limited range of tasks, and many warehouses have several separate automation systems, each based on robots from different vendors and working independently ...

A flock of seagulls. A school of fish. A gaggle of geese. Collective nouns in English are a lot of fun. However, when it comes to a collection of robots, we’re missing the mark, especially in the ...

Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built fully programmable micro-machines, smaller than a grain of salt, that can ...

The use of Cartesian and six-axis robots, as well as selective-compliance-articulated robot arms (SCARAs) is on the rise. They automate tasks to accelerate cycle times, increase throughput, and ...

So, Zebra Technologies is stepping away from the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) game. It’s a pretty big deal, considering they bought Fetch Robotics a few years back and really seemed to be pushing it.
