Figure AI has just introduced its latest android robot, Figure 03. The new robot comes with a lot of improvements over the previous one, such as, redesigned hands including softer fingertips with improved grasp and new cameras in hands, wireless charging through electromagnetic induction, faster actuators with improved torque density, improved audio system, improved camera […]
Two of the most critical success factors in the manufacturing industry are time to deployment and cycle time. Despite this, the design and deployment of robotic workcells has long remained a surprisingly manual and time-consuming process. Realtime Robotics is aiming to change that with Resolver, a cloud-based optimization engine that introduces industrial-scale automation into the […]
Weed that grow among crops is a problem in many ways since humanity started agriculture. Weeds compete with crops for water, soil nutrients, sunlight. They can host pets, harbor diseases. They cost labor to remove them, either manually or chemically. This also increases overall costs and chemical removal may mean environmental impacts. Overall, weeds cause […]
Solo content creators often face the choice of either recording from a stationary camera or having to ask help from someone who needs to hold the camera. With this robotic tripod system called Roll Cam Robotic Cameraman, this problem seems to be solved to some extent. The system makes the tripod follow whatever needs to […]

The purpose of a robotic gripper is to effectively manipulate and grasp objects. First of all, the system for gripping must be chosen. Such as two or more finger grippers, parallel jaw grippers, suction grippers and other types. Some grippers are designed for only specific types of objects, which makes the design easier. Let’s list […]
Co-bot stands for “collaborative robots”. These robots are designed to work alongside humans, by performing repetitive or heavy tasks, which would greatly ease the burden on the human worker while he or she can focus on tasks that require higher skills. A critical item for making this possible is to implement certain safety mechanisms on […]
