Articulated robots are highly versatile and efficient robots that have the ability to mimic human arm movements for various industrial and commercial applications.
Could this be the time we say goodbye to robotic awkwardness and hello to seamless motion? This article highlights the groundbreaking concept of whole-body control, a coordinated robotic motion technique that resembles natural movement. Imagine a robot smoothly navigating its environment, performing tasks with grace and precision. This innovative approach allows for improved efficiency and greater versatility in real-world settings.
In this episode, we explore two cutting-edge environmental robots developed by ETH Zurich students: MONKEE, a tree-climbing robot for canopy research, and ReefRanger, an autonomous underwater robot that feeds and monitors corals.
Around 100 Bachelor's students from the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering have spent two semesters working on their Focus projects in 11 teams. They will present the results of their projects on 28 May.
Discover how Turkish forging manufacturer EGEMET Ege Metal optimized the inspection of large forged parts and molds using SCANOLOGY's SIMSCAN 42 handheld 3D scanner. The transition from manual measurement to digital inspection improved accuracy, efficiency, and production flexibility.
Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system significantly reduces manufacturing time and opens up new possibilities for aerospace and industry.

Ever wondered how robotic arms achieve precise movement in manufacturing, healthcare, or logistics? It’s all about smart design — from sturdy components and kinematics to advanced control systems. Discover how these elements work together to deliver accuracy, flexibility, and real-world efficiency.
Robotic joints, which are sometimes known as axes, are the moveable parts of a robot that cause relative motion between adjacent links. These links refer to the rigid components that connect the joints to ensure their proper and straightforward operation.
Intelligent Flying Robots is a revolutionary approach to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) that enables accurate contact-based inspection to fulfill industrial asset inspection standards with many advantages.
The inner child in many of us feels an overwhelming sense of joy when stumbling across a pile of the fluorescent, rubbery mixture of water, salt, and flour that put goo on the map: play dough. (Even if this happens rarely in adulthood.)
In this episode, we talk about how engineers are tackling the problem of sorting through piles using robotics and a platform that leverages fake data to train robots more efficiently.
In a recent project, Professor Edward Adelson and Sandra Liu — a mechanical engineering PhD student at CSAIL — have developed a robotic gripper using novel “GelSight Fin Ray” fingers that, like the human hand, is supple enough to manipulate objects.
One of the main things people are interested in when solving a complex robotic manipulator problem is the DoF and Functions. These two distinct pieces of terminology help to shortcut conversations and make sure everyone is talking on the same page!
The aim of this article is to provide a high-level answer to the question: “What do people use underwater robotic arms for?” If you’ve worked with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) before, this article probably isn’t for you. For everyone else, let’s go.
