Engineers at Johns Hopkins have invented a globe-shaped motor that is capable of rotating in any direction. The device, which uses electromagnets controlled by a computer, could give robotic arms ...

BALTIMORE — Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have implemented a spherical motor that can roll in any direction, rather than rotate on a single axis as conventional motors do. Spherical motors ...

TAIPEI, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tensor Tech developed groundbreaking spherical motor technology that will help more commercial players enter the space industry. Based in Taiwan, Tensor Tech ...

Spherical motors and actuators represent a versatile class of devices offering rotational motion in three dimensions. Their unique geometrical configuration enables multi‐degree-of-freedom (DOF) ...

Professor Ralph Hollis invented a robot with a special motor that has a very simple drive system about a decade ago called the ballbot. Fast-forward ten years and Hollis' invention called the ...

Imagine a computer mouse that can push back against a user's fingers to simulate braille dots. Or a robotic arm for fine-tuning circuit boards on orbiting satellites with greater accuracy than any ...

Researchers have developed a spherical motor that may let robots loosen up. Unlike a conventional motor, which turns on an axis, the new device can rotate in any direction. As such, the globe-shaped ...
