When it comes to methods of locomotion for robots, wheels are good for some things, while legs are better for others. Scientists are now working on a bot that combines the best of both worlds, with ...

Walking, legged robots may excel at climbing over obstacles, but wheels are still more efficient for travelling over smooth ground. That's why engineers at ETH Zurich have added powered wheels to ...

It started with [CHORL] making a promise to himself regarding constructing a new combat robot: no spending of money on the new robot. Nested hole saws create concentric holes. Perfect for wheels. Here ...

Industrial robots have very complex motion and control requirements due to their increasingly advanced kinematics capabilities. In addition to a diverse array of drives, encoders, I/O modules, and ...
