The results provide evidence for the hypothesis that spiders crouch to sense differences in web frequencies to locate prey ...

Flexible joints make it possible to type on a keyboard or use a video game controller without a thought. Now, a team at Johns Hopkins University has recreated these perks in a life-like prosthetic ...

Researchers have developed a new soft joint model for robots that is more adaptable and robust. Developed by researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the model has an asymmetrical ...

They discovered that a flexible joint reaches a critical point when the ... Other applications include a robot with strong propulsion that crawls over rough terrains, like sand, and one that ...

The joint controller is a state feedback controller that uses the motor position and the link-side torque and their derivatives as state. The feedback of the torque signal allows for active vibration ...
