Breakthroughs in AI are transforming robotic abilities, but the development of robot bodies has not kept pace with advances ...

The sample platform, actuator mount and all the connecting parts ... Three precision screws are used to level the two platforms in a typical kinematic mount structure, which looks like the only ...

It started as a design experiment in making a DIY reduced noise, gearless actuator and you can see the result here. Here’s how it works: the cylindrical section contains permanent magnets ...

Actuators can stop working or develop intermittent problems because electrical contacts or circuits wear out, dirt gums up the gears or the motor fails from long-term use.
