Enchanted Tools zorgt met Mirokaï voor een revolutie in robotica

Hoe kunnen we robots in de nabije toekomst volwaardig deel laten uitmaken van ons dagelijks leven? Dat is de uitdaging die de Franse start-up Enchanted Tools aangaat. Dit bedrijf, opgericht door Jérôme Monceaux (mede-ontwikkelaar van de robots Pepper en Nao), onthulde onlangs Miroki, het prototype van een NIEUWE GENERATIE PRACHTIGE EN NUTTIGE MENSELIJKE ROBOTS.

Why is the maxon Group developing programmable master controllers?

maxon has been developing and producing drive components and mechatronic systems for decades. However, the system business is becoming increasingly important and more complex. Programmable MACS controllers are thus an essential component for these system solutions. The master controller (MACS) can be used in a variety of ways. Practical examples include autonomous repetitive processing of travel profiles, as well as…

Sensors of the same type don’t necessarily measure the same “things”

When evaluating different motion sensors, consider the number of axes your device needs to measure for your application. Then, consider the possibilities that could be unlocked by measuring additional–or different–axes. Choosing the right sensor capability early in your development process will lead to the best cost/performance fit, quick time to market and low development and product costs.

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…
