Futuristic Technology Expected Coming in 2015 and Beyond
When you’re looking for the coolest, most science-fictiony tech out there, it’s not always a shiny new gadget or even something that’s very new at all. One of the most exciting, future-busting technologies of 2014 was a system created more than a decade ago, scarcely improved on since, and only deployed at the end of the past year. But because of it, we landed on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The scientific data…

The Future of Robotics
Robots do a lot of great things that make our lives easier and help companies get more done. One of the biggest examples of the impact that robots have made on humanity is their role in auto factories. Almost every step of the car building process involves robots putting things together and making sure that the job is done right. Recently, robots have been sent into space to help astronauts…

Making and Using a Linear Actuator for Robotics Applications
Robots manipulated by humans are being aggressively researched and developed. Such robots have requirements such as a large generative force, high-speed response, good controllability, high safety, low friction and backdriveability. The device is an all-purpose actuator that satisfies the demands for application in a human-coexistence welfare robot, such as power-assist systems. Additionally, the linear actuator shows possibilities of further improvement of the force-weight ratio by an increase of the ER…
