One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

This new cable-driven robot, known as Cogiro, makes it possible to produce customised parts and also to obtain information in real time about the status of a construction. So, among other improvements ...

Graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built the first graffiti-painting robot system that mimics the fluidity of human movement. Aptly named GTGraffiti, the system uses motion ...
