    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.

    Get more out of your camping trip with Mover.

    Out and about with a camper trailer – for many this is their travel dream come true, if only parking the caravan was easier. With the maneuvering systems from Truma, this task can be carried out comfortably using a remote control. For the maneuvering systems to be able to take the load, Truma installed electric drive systems from Parvalux.Imagine a holiday close to nature, in your own bed, your personal comforts at hand, and the feeling of being free. If you have ever traveled in a camper trailer, you likely never want to travel any other way again. In 2021, the Caravanning Industry Association (CIVD) with its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, recorded around 78,000 new travel trailer registrations (excluding motor homes) in Europe alone, globally as many as 670,000 – an increase of 34.6 percent. Traveling with a camper trailer is a major trend.QUOTE01-Get more out of your camping trip with Mover
