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 ...

China is no longer just building robots it’s choreographing them. Humanoid robots at the 2025 Understanding China Conference ...

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, ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it ...

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 ...

Aaron D. Ames is the Bren Professor of Mechanical and Civil Engineering and Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology. He received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a ...

Optimal control theory provides a rigorous mathematical framework for determining control policies that guide dynamical systems towards a desired performance, often by minimising an associated cost ...

Using wave energy more efficiently is key to making it more widespread. Compared to wind and solar energy, wave energy is relatively difficult and expensive to capture, but engineers from Sandia ...

The presence of just a few autonomous vehicles can eliminate the stop-and-go driving of the human drivers in traffic, along with the accident risk and fuel inefficiency it causes, according to new ...
