The New York City-based Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA) announces a new ANSI / BHMA A156.31 American National Standard for Electric Strikes and Frame-Mounted Actuators, setting ...

Motion is a critical function of any robotic system, and actuators play a key role in supporting accurate and repeatable torque, force, etc. As robotic systems evolve thanks to trends in ...

Animals have long served as inspiration for robotics. However, many of the mechanical properties, physical capabilities, and the behavioral flexibility seen in animals have yet to be achieved in ...

Wearable medical devices, like exoskeletons, often rely on soft actuators, materials that convert electrical energy into motion. But traditional actuators often use stiff metallic materials that limit ...

NASA can use space-rated actuation hardware for a wide range of applications, including in robotic arms that deploy equipment.

Researchers have developed new hair-thin actuator fiber that can pave way to build safer ...

Ultraviolet-laser processing is a promising technique for developing intricate microstructures, enabling complex alignment of muscle cells, required for building life-like biohybrid actuators, as ...

Actuators, or the joints that dictate how precisely a robot can move, have become the new battleground in the race to build humanoid robots, pushing major Korean conglomerates to expand into a sector ...

Actuators with built-in encoders and precision guidance enable position, speed and force adjustments on-the-fly without mechanical reconfiguration or production delays. Integrated diagnostics monitor ...
