[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

Robots are everywhere in our imaginations—helping older adults at home, stocking warehouses, cleaning offices, and taking on dangerous jobs that ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global motors and actuators market in industrial robots 2017-2021 report. This market research report also ...

Robotics is evolving fast—faster payload requirements, tighter energy budgets, smaller footprints, and higher expectations ...

Advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving innovation in robotics, allowing them to expand into new industries with the emergence of smaller and smarter robotic designs.

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Three series of MAE brand hybrid stepper motors in various standard NEMA frame sizes are engineered to deliver accurate open loop control for a wide range of high-performance positioning applications.

Part 2 in a series of articles on motor control design focuses on how to reduce noise, one of the biggest challenges, in stepper motors. The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, ...
