Proprietary systems have traditionally dominated the control of three and four-axis wafer handling robots for in-vacuum and in-air wafer applications. As a result, these systems can be limited in ...

Robots are rapidly moving beyond pre-programmed automation into a new era of adaptive, learning-driven autonomy. At the center of this ...

Human–robot interaction (HRI) and gesture-based control systems represent a rapidly evolving research field that seeks to bridge the gap between human intuition and robotic precision. This area ...

Microsoft Research rolled out a new robot control system in late January 2026 that lets machines work with their hands while processing spoken commands and physical feedback. The system, called ...

Humanoid and bipedal robot control systems represent a dynamic confluence of robotics, control theory and artificial intelligence. These systems are designed to enable robots to navigate complex ...

Last week, researchers at MIT and UCSD unveiled a new immersive remote control experience for robots. This innovative system, dubbed "Open-TeleVision," enables operators to actively perceive the robot ...

Autonomous robot navigation is an area that has undergone much research and development, leading to a wide range of robotic platforms. These range from mass-produced robotic vacuums, to mid-sized ...

One thing robots are pretty good at doing is, well, one thing over and over again. Confront them with objects of different shapes and sizes, and with different actions to perform and that's another ...

Electric motors are devices that transform electrical energy into mechanical energy, which may be used to move articulated systems. The electric motor must be capable of producing substantial torque ...

A control system for deformable robot-fingertips was developed for grasping and releasing objects. Previously developed robot fingertips with high friction texture can stably grasp a paper box, a soft ...
