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 ...

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 ...

Having a 21st century robot doesn't help if the control is like something designed to handle a model plane circa 1965. So iRobot has come up with something that is not only up to date, but also more ...

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 ...

Industrial robots are now widely used and are indispensable in car manufacturing and in other fields. Conventional robot hands are suitable for grasping hard objects of fixed form, whereas it is not ...

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 ...

While so far robots have predominantly been deployed individually, as teams, they can tackle a wider range of complex missions with remarkable speed and efficiency. For instance, they could help to ...

We’ve seen all kinds of animal-machine hybrids in recent years — remotely-steerable sharks, cyborg pigeons, monkeys that can control robotic limbs with their minds. At the University of Reading, ...

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 ...
