A team of seniors from different engineering disciplines developed a robotic arm end effector that can dispense highly viscous materials precisely and safely. The end effector has the potential to ...

MakerBot, a global leader in 3D printing, revealed that All Axis Robotics is implementing the MakerBot METHOD manufacturing workstation into its automation processes to produce custom tooling parts ...

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide, Expedition 33 flight engineer, uses a still camera to photograph the Canadarm2 robotic arm’s Latching End Effector (LEE) from a window in the ...

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...

Though it’s the robot arms and architecture that get most of the attention, the end effectors (or end-of-arm tooling) is where the action happens…or doesn’t happen if the end effector can’t adapt to ...

Foundational Concepts in Programming Industrial Robots. Before you can get a robot to do anything useful, you need to ...
