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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

If researchers achieve the goals they have set for themselves, apple and grape growers should see the day when their dormant pruning will be done by robots instead of people. Pruning is ...
