Articulated welding robots used in a factory are a type of industrial robot. The quadrupedal military robot Cheetah, an evolution of BigDog (pictured), was clocked as the world's fastest legged robot in 2012, beating the record set by an MIT bipedal robot in 1989. [ 1] A robot is a machine —especially one programmable by a computer —capable ...
Robotics is the interdisciplinary study and practice of the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. [ 1] Within mechanical engineering, robotics is the design and construction of the physical structures of robots, while in computer science, robotics focuses on robotic automation algorithms. Other disciplines contributing to robotics ...
BEST Robotics. BEST ( Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) is a national six-week robotics competition in the United States held each fall, designed to help interest middle school and high school students in possible engineering careers. The games are similar in scale to those of the FIRST Tech Challenge. [ 1][ 2][ 3]
Charging Robot. An Automatic Charging Robot, unveiled on July 27, 2022, is an arm-shaped automatic charging robot, charging an electric vehicle. It has been running a pilot operation at Hyundai Motor Group's headquarters since 2021. VISION AI System based on deep learning technology has been applied.
Universal Robots was founded in Odense, Denmark in 2005 by Esben Østergaard, Kasper Støy, and Kristian Kassow. [8] [9] During joint research at the Syddansk Universitet Odense, the founders came to the conclusion that the robotics market was dominated by heavy, expensive, and unwieldy robots.
The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world. During the Industrial Revolution, humans developed the structural engineering capability to control electricity so that machines could be powered with small motors. In the early 20th century, the notion of a humanoid machine was developed.
A mobile robot is an automatic machine that is capable of locomotion. [ 1] Mobile robotics is usually considered to be a subfield of robotics and information engineering. [ 2] Mobile robots have the capability to move around in their environment and are not fixed to one physical location. Mobile robots can be "autonomous" (AMR - autonomous ...
Soft-legged wheel-based robot with terrestrial locomotion abilities. Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that concerns the design, control, and fabrication of robots composed of compliant materials, instead of rigid links. [ 1][ 2] In contrast to rigid-bodied robots built from metals, ceramics and hard plastics, the compliance of soft ...
