The PUMA (Programmable Universal Machine for Assembly, or Programmable Universal Manipulation Arm) is an industrial robotic arm developed by Victor Scheinman at pioneering robot company Unimation. Initially developed by Unimation for General Motors , the PUMA was based on earlier designs Scheinman invented while at Stanford University based on ...
Stiquito (pronounced sti ke to) is a small, inexpensive hexapod (i.e., six-legged) robot commonly used by universities, high schools, and hobbyists, since 1992. A Stiquito . Stiquito's "muscles" are made of nitinol , a shape memory alloy that expands and contracts, roughly emulating the operation of a muscle.
The Kilobot placed first in the roaming category of the 2012 African Robotics Network $10 Robot Design Challenge, which asked engineers to create low-cost robots for educating children in developing countries. [5] The Kilobot was created for the purpose of making a cheap swarm-bot more affordable to the general public.
Monumental’s robots use AI technology pioneered for self-driving cars and a new generation of inexpensive robotic parts to create robots that can work on almost any new building site and at a ...
A robotics company produces or manufactures and sells robots for domestic or industrial use. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In the 21st century, investment in robotics companies has grown due to increasing demand for automation.
The SCARA robot concept was inspired by the presentation of the SIGMA robot for assembly by A. d'Auria at the 7th International Symposium on Robotics in Tokyo, in October 1977. This presentation had a significant impact on engineers in Japan studying assembly automation, prompting Hiroshi Makino to begin working on the SCARA robot design ...
Open source robotics means that information about the hardware is easily discerned, so that others can easily rebuild it. In turn, this requires design to use only easily available standard subcomponents and tools, and for the build process to be documented in detail including a bill of materials and detailed ('Ikea style') step-by-step building and testing instructions.
VGR is rapidly transforming production processes by enabling robots to be highly adaptable and more easily implemented, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of fixed tooling previously associated with the design and set up of robotic cells, whether for material handling, automated assembly, agricultural applications, [1] life ...
