A faster collision detection algorithm could enable robots to work more fluidly in the operating room or at home for assisted living. The algorithm, dubbed 'Fastron,' runs up to eight times faster ...

Thomson Industries Inc., a manufacturer of linear motion control systems, has released its Movotrak CTU 7th axis, which features collision detection functionality similar to a cobot joint. The company ...

A single cobot mounted on the Movotrak can cover up to 10 meters of stroke with ±25 microns accuracy, potentially replacing four to five stationary cobots in applications ranging from palletizing to ...

Robotic collision sensors are crash protection devices that detect a crash before or during a collision. A collision sensor sends a signal back to the robot’s brain (robot controller) in such ...
