  • Wave power technology in test for power generation breakthrough

    Wave power could enable buoy arrays to generate electrical power for seaborne applications. Waveforce Energy is about to begin tests, the first of their kind, that could enable wave energy farms to be used in any maritime location around the world. Comprising a specially designed turbine and mathematical modelling that optimises yield and efficiency, Waveforce Energy has partnered with maxon to achieve power generation through brushed DC motor technology.

  • Robots enhance upper limb therapy for patients with neurological conditions

    Robotics has the potential to provide therapy to people with neurological disorders, assisting clinicians and potentially improving the care outcome. Human Robotix, a start-up formed by a team of academic researchers, has developed a robot that can provide assessment and therapy of the wrist, elbow, and ankle. Early results suggest a positive response for people with conditions such as stroke and cerebral palsy. To provide the robot’s drive system, Human Robotix has partnered with maxon.

    The growth of modular robots and the importance of drive train design

    For lightweight robots, modular designs are increasingly popular thanks to the flexible deployment they enable for specialised tasks. This is also enhancing the potential for system integrators and end users to develop their own robots. As part of an in-house robot build, optimising the design of the drive train that powers and controls each robot joint is vital to the robot’s performance. The most effective way of achieving this is by developing the drive train as a complete module, and this approach can also improve the efficiency of robot development overall.
