Stay curious. Real-world experiences. Are you interested in the latest developments in drive technology? On the maxon blog, our experts report in detail on their work, new maxon products, and experiences from exciting collaborations. Topics maxon expands high-torque, high-speed BLDC motor range Precision drive system manufacturer maxon has expanded its high speed and high torque brushless DC (BLDC) motor series to extend capabilities for applications that demand a compact footprint and low weight. The new 22mm diameter BLDC motor in maxon’s ECX PRIME series increases nominal torque to 69.1mNm with high-speed operation up to 30,000rpm. ECX PRIME motors feature a rigid speed-torque characteristic that optimises control for precision applications. Challenges in Drone Technology Drone technology continues to advance depending on specific applications. For this article, we’ll be looking at compact drones used in a variety of applications that need continuous and autonomous inspection of chimneys, shafts, and tanks. Robots speeding up material handling With omnidirectional movement and smart docking with virtually any warehouse cart in under 20 seconds, these new robots are making material handling faster and safer. New era for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships maxon Drive System Opens an Era for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). Providing a High Level of Reliability and Swift Custom Service on One of the World’s Largest Container Carriers. 200 times faster subsea inspection From oil & gas installations to submarines, structures operating in deep sea conditions need regular inspection. Remote operated vehicles (ROVs) make this process much safer and less expensive, and they rely on scanning technology, which is crucial to data collection. Precise motion control is helping a new subsea inspection device achieve highly accurate inspection with the fastest-yet speeds of data collection. Mirokaï, a revolution in robotics How can we fully integrate robots into our daily lives in the near future? This challenge is currently being addressed by French startup Enchanted Tools. Founded by Jérôme Monceaux, who had already helped create the robots Pepper and Nao, Enchanted Tools recently unveiled Miroki, the prototype of a new generation of humanoid robots that are both wondrous and useful. Logistics robots in the ready-to-wear fashion A subsidiary of the Beaumanoir Group, C-Log is a company that specializes in retail & e-commerce logistics. Its nine established warehouses, located throughout France, not only supply stock to the stores of Bonobo, Bréal, Cache-Cache, La Halle, Caroll, and Morgan, all part of the Beaumanoir Group, but also provide logistics for other garment brands. Reachy 2: The Open-Source Humanoid Robot Redefining Human-Machine Interaction Designed to be modular, open-source, and customizable, Reachy 2 pushes the boundaries of robotics for researchers and industry. The integration of maxon motors has allowed it to overcome its initial limitations, resulting in enhanced performance and precision. Discover the story of a technical and human collaboration that aims to redefine the interaction between humans and machines. The most sensitive and durable robot hand yet created When Google DeepMind wanted a robotic hand for their latest project in AI machine learning, they turned to Shadow Robot. This latest creation isn’t just one of the most sensitive and dexterous robotic hands yet created, but it’s sufficiently robust to endure impacts that have destroyed previous designs.
