Compact Automation
A “compact automation” is a mechatronic system that performs a whole series of consecutive production steps autonomously. “Compact” refers to the small dimensions, in the millimeter and centimeter range, of the products to be processed. Designing and constructing such systems is one of the core activities of the Austrian machine manufacturer STIWA. Its modular system LTM-CI…
An autonomous underwater robot – equipped with artificial intelligence
Last week, a group of students from ETH Zürich presented the result of their mechanical engineering project: an autonomous underwater robot – equipped with artificial intelligence. Thanks to a powerful FAULHABER motor, this robotic fish is able to navigate precisely as well as collect isolated DNA samples underwater and record videos. Read more

Small cameras for big emotions
Fans want to get as close as possible and the media must deliver: a subtle twitch at the corner of the trainer’s mouth, contentious fraction-of-an-inch decisions or once-in-a-lifetime events. In the competition to deliver the most spectacular images, cameras are ahead of the field, right in the midst of the action but without being a nuisance…
Industry 4.0 and Intralogistics 4.0 are changing the production environment long term
The need for autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) as well as the requirements on them are becoming more and more complex. In order to enable the industry to keep up with the latest trends by means of quick and cost-efficient development, Markus Fenn and Prof. Dr. Stefan May have developed “EduArt,” a learning and prototyping platform…
An idea strengthens the back of the world
It is neither fatal nor infectious but very diffi cult to manage and extremely expensive to society: the widespread medical disorder of chronic back pain. A motorised exoskeleton can provide relief to the especially vulnerable lumbar spine. French manufacturer Japet relies on FAULHABER, as its product demands the highest quality and every ounce counts.

Drive systems for sample distribution
When it comes to performing a very large number of standardized tests, such as in the case of a mass test for COVID-19, there is no avoiding largescale, automated laboratories. The advantages of automation are obvious: it enables more reliable results with a much higher throughput. One important aspect for a successful laboratory automation is the transport of samples from…
