Cobots, medical robots, and humanoids all demand pinpoint accuracy. Strain wave gearboxes offer zero backlash and a high torque density in a compact package.

Rapidly growing markets for robot innovation include applications that enhance human health and wellbeing, such as bionics and robotic surgery.

A revolution in collaborative robots (cobots) promises to change how assistive care is delivered to the elderly, how people interact with their work environment and even how surgeons perform heart surgery.

Michael Zampano, product engineer at mk North America, walks us through the capabilities and features of VersaFlex flexible conveyors.

  Sponsored by Tormach In 2001, Tormach was founded by “two guys in a garage” who aimed to make small-yet-capable CNC mills affordable, thereby empowering people like themselves who wanted to make things but lacked big corporate budgets to do so. Today, the Madison, Wisc.-based, employee-owned firm has a global customer base for its broad…

Advanced Navigation recently sent Hydrus to the depths of the Rottnest ship graveyard, located off the coast of Western Australia. 

A cartesian robot system that uses XYZ coordinates to move multiple axes—typically three—to a specific location within its workspace.

As automation systems become more complex and labor shortages persist, engineers are looking for new ways to enhance connector efficiency.

In October 2023, Advanced Navigation deployed its micro-autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Hydrus off Rottnest Island, Western Australia.

Advanced Navigation’s micro-AUV Hydrus successfully simulated its capability to autonomously scan a seabed to detect objects of interest.

Oil rigs, those formidable structures used for extracting crude oil and natural gas from beneath the ocean floor, face an intriguing dilemma when they reach the end of their productive life.

Hydrus is revolutionising the aquaculture industry by offering cost-effective and sustainable solutions for monitoring seabed health.

A look at the role uncrewed vehicles can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions with examples for forestry, ocean monitoring and disaster relief.
