HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • New inductive full-metal sensors – robust, compact, accurate

    These robust full-metal sensors are especially well-suited for applications in the food industry.

  • Lizard inspired robot designed to climb, move over rough terrain

    These robots are inspired by lizards.

  • HyperloopTT details full-scale commercial hyperloop system

    The company said it is the first completed design for a hyperloop platform.

  • Medical imaging system improves accuracy of blood draws

    Device projects venous patterns onto patient arms to improve blood draw outcomes.

  • Multi-channel partner network streamlines communication for contractors

    Contractors and technicians can access shared resources, including valuable equipment documentation, training materials and best practices.

  • How high efficiency motors can help combat climate change

    Increased reliance on high-efficiency motors and variable-speed drives is key to meeting the 2040 Paris Agreement climate goals.

  • Video: Servo drives can predict machine maintenance

    The servo amplifiers can be used with motion modules that can each synchronize up to 256 axes.

  • Watch: Robot to autonomously clean up nuclear waste

    Robots could be deployed instead of human workers for nuclear waste clean-up.

  • Drones to collectively deliver packages to soldiers, consumers

    These drones will deliver to consumers, soldiers in the field.

  • Digital servo drive works with a smart motor

    The single-axis drive operates a Moog CD series motor, providing high-torque capabilities for large axes of motion and other demanding applications.

  • Video: Printed electronic keypads invisible to thieves

    The transparent keypads could be used to secure hospitals, personal residences and bank vaults.

  • Tech to detect trafficked humans at border crossings

    EMF signatures could reveal the presence of humans concealed within vehicles.

  • Small robot operates without any electronics

    This robot could be used for low-cost robotics in entertainment and in environments where electronics cannot function, like MRI machines or mine shafts.

  • Kodiak to add lidar into its automated truck mirrors

    The 360° scanning lidar will be incorporated into the Kodiak side- and rear-view mirrors.

  • Watch as a robotic arm builds string-reinforced roads

    The robotic arm stacks asphalt and string in layers.

  • Watch a FRESH approach to 3D bioprinting

    The technology has been used to produce the first full-size 3D bioprinted human heart model.

  • NASA preps for first Martian drone helicopter flight

    The planned flight will take place no sooner than April 8.

  • Vertical farming automation could strengthen food supply chain

    Automating certain tasks in vertical farming could mean a stronger, more efficient food supply chain.

  • Differentiating local from global sources of plutonium pollution in soil

    Such differentiation can help inform decisions concerning nuclear legacies, particularly the clean-up of contaminated land.

  • Accelerate data-driven smart operations for maximum value and reduced risk

    Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is going full throttle – increasing connectivity, generating data and unlocking potential like never before. Explore how to capitalize on the full power of this data.
