One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

Even the oldest of mechanisms remain useful in modern technology. [Skyentific] has been messing with robotic joints for quite a while, and demonstrated an interesting way to use a pulley system in a ...

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) represent an innovative class of robotic systems that utilise flexible cables to actuate a moving platform. This design offers significant advantages over ...

Kyoto-based Tmsuk Corporation (Tmsuk) has announced the development of a new legged pipe inspection robot called "SPD-X." The new robot can fit through pipes bigger than 7.87 inches (20 cm) in ...
