Giant Robots Battle to the Death

  What’s new in industrial motion control? Increased safety measures, environmental responsibility, new advances in 3D printing, new applications for modular design… You know, the usual. But what’s new with robots in general? There’s something a little different going on there. U.S. robotics firm MegaBots challenged a Japanese giant robot to a duel. They raised… Read more »

Human-Technology Relationships

Imagine a path through the woods, a path that demonstrates the possibilities for human relationships with technology. Up ahead there are two branches: Machines make life easier for human beings.

The problem isn’t whether to allow passengers to eat in the cars or how to respond to drivers’ road rage. It’s who should live and who should die. If a self-driving car is about… Read more »

Robot Swarms

Servo motors are adept at telling robots to make precise movements. Safety systems override those commands when something potentially dangerous takes place. The potentially dangerous thing might be an overheating motor, a movement outside of specific parameters, or an issue with the voltage. It might also be some other entity moving into the robot’s space…. Read more »
