New research enables powered prosthetics to dynamically respond to the wearer’s environment and help amputees walk. Wearers of the robotic leg could walk on a treadmill almost as fast as an ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional ...

This study presents a bio-inspired control framework for soft robots, enhancing tracking accuracy by over 44% under ...

Jun Zhang, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research interests lie in the intersection of control theory, robotics, ...

Robotics has made jaw-dropping progress in perception, navigation, and even conversational interfaces. Yet one part of the human body continues ...

Getting a robot to stand on two wheels without tipping over involves a challenging dance with the laws of physics. Self-balancing robots are a great way to get into control systems, sensor fusion, and ...

A University of Texas at Dallas professor applied robot control theory to enable powered prosthetics to dynamically respond to the wearer's environment and help amputees walk. In research available ...
