Bearings that Balance Load and Smooth Motion in Humanoid Robots
Smooth, controlled movement is central to the lifelike appearance and functionality of a humanoid robot. Whether walking, gesturing, or manipulating objects, humanoid robots rely on motion systems that are quiet, precise, and durable. And at the heart of these systems? Ball Bearings. NMB high-precision Ball Bearings are engineered to support both radial and axial loads […]

Machined Components in Robotic Assemblies
Machined components are often the unsung heroes of humanoid robotics. From actuator mounts to structural frames, these parts form the physical backbone of the robot. When precision matters—and in humanoid robotics, it always does—the quality of your machined components directly impacts performance. Why Machining Matters in Humanoid Robotics In applications where multiple degrees of freedom […]

How Strain Sensors Protect and Improve Humanoid Robot Movement
As humanoid robots evolve to become more agile and dynamic, understanding the forces acting on their structure becomes crucial. Structural integrity isn’t just a mechanical concern—it’s an intelligent design opportunity. This is where Strain Gauge Sensors come into play. Strain sensors measure deformation—how much a structural element stretches, compresses, or bends under load. By placing […]

In-Vehicle Applications for Advanced Haptics Technology
Vehicle technology is evolving at a faster pace than ever before. Less than ten years ago, many cars weren’t even equipped with screens or cameras! Despite long design lifecycles, vehicle manufacturers have been able to integrate high-tech enhancements that appeal to both drivers and passengers. Today, in the era of the smartphone, drivers expect to […]

Integrated Haptic Feedback Drives Advanced Simulation Technology
Creating life like scenarios with simulation systems has always been a challenge when touch feedback is required. Video is able to immerse the user to a certain extent while tactile feedback can provide non-visual cues to make training and simulation environments more realistic. This is especially advantageous in the medical and industrial fields where hazardous […]

New Haptic Technology Improves Communication With Digital Interfaces
The sense of touch transcends culture and communication barriers to bring people closer together. As our world becomes more mobile and remote, people are feeling quite literally “out-of-touch” with reality. New developments in the field of haptics are looking to transform how we communicate via touch within increasingly digital environments. According to IDTechEx, the Haptics […]

How to Decode IP Ratings
Ingress Protection (IP) Ratings were established in 1976 by the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) in order to standardize the level of protection an electrical enclosure provides against the ingress of dust and water. Before IP ratings, manufacturers of components and devices would use vague language such as “water-resistant” or “dust-proof” – without a defined standard, […]
