Moving an object from one location to another—picking and placing—is an ideal application for industrial robots due to the robots’ repeatability, throughput and favorable return on investment. It is ...

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

Cartesian robots can move across three axes of motion (X, Y and Z) using linear actuators positioned at right angles to each other. While it’s moves are straightforward, Cartesian robots have long ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...
