Sensing the force in this case requires no Jedi training, only a disc-shaped force/torque sensor attached at the wrist of the robot arm. ATI's force/torque sensors consist of a transducer, shielded ...

A low-cost force sensor for industrial robots would allow smaller companies to use them safely alongside human employees, according to engineers working on the project. Berenice Baker reports A ...

With AI-based language processing, robots can understand natural human instructions. So even people without technical ...

Polishing, machining, and grinding are now easier with soft robots using direct-drive low-inertia links instead of series-elastic actuators or kinematics fitted with force/torque sensors.
