[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

A major challenge of robotic arms is the weight of the actuators, especially closer to the end of the arm. The long lever arm means more torque is required from the other actuators, and everything ...

Meet your new best friend: a robot arm that can pass you a drink or blow air at you with a tiny fan. The uArm, an adorable robot arm from uFactory, is a precise, open source robot arm that's small ...

I’ve been thinking about these projects for a while, and now I’m going to attempt to make a simple robot arm that uses this system to drive all of its joints from one main motor. Previous video: • ...

What if building a robotic arm didn’t require a massive budget or a team of engineers? Imagine a device capable of delivering smooth, precise movements for studio applications, constructed for less ...

Part 1: • One-Motor CVT Robot Arm #1 - Gearbox Last time, I started a project to build a robot arm which only has one main drive motor, and uses a series of clutches to drive three separate axees. I’d ...

Robot self-awareness is one step closer today after engineers at Columbia University built a robotic arm that can imagine itself. The ability to recognise the self and imagine that self in different ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today, the team behind the Titan Arm won the 2013 James Dyson Award ...

Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined actions of large populations of widely tuned neurons rather than by small numbers of highly tuned ...
