To make a robotic arm as slender as possible, the actuators can’t be mounted on the arm itself but must instead drive the arm remotely. There are a number of ways of doing this, and though [Gear ...

and he’s messing around with Series Elastic Actuators right now. In an earlier part of the project, he built a small robotic arm to demonstrate the motion capture suit he’s going to use to ...

At MD&M West 2025, Henry Kim, a regional sales engineer at Harmonic Drive, demonstrated advancements in actuator design.

Many of the robotic systems developed in the past decades are inspired by four-legged (i.e., quadruped) animals, such as dogs ...

Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a ...
