Robot Energy Consumption Cut By Up To 40 Percent
August 26, 2015 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology minimize the acceleration of industrial robots reducing energy consumption by up to 40 percent – while retaining the given production time. The Chalmers team developed a new optimization algorithm that optimizes the robot’s movements reducing acceleration and deceleration, as well as the time the robot is at a standstill […]

Harvesting Energy From Tire Friction
June 30, 2015 | 1 Comment
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and a collaborator from China have developed a nanogenerator that harvests energy from a car tire’s rolling friction. Xudong Wang, the Harvey D. Spangler fellow and an associate professor of materials science and engineering at UW-Madison, and his PhD student Yanchao Mao have been working on this device for about a […]
