A wide variety of industries operate factories with large-format manufacturing lines, creating a need for long-travel motion axes and transfer robots. Some of these gantry and Cartesian robots can ...

Any organism with a brain needs to make decisions about how it's going to navigate through three-dimensional spaces. That's why animals have evolved sensory organs in the ears to detect if they're ...

Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Engineering experts have proposed a novel technique to measure the cell traction force field and tackle the research gap. The interdisciplinary research team used single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

The construction industry must find a balance between safety and individual autonomy: Proper education about the risks of rotational motion, TBIs, and more. Safety systems with the aim of reducing the ...
