Robert J. Wood has now created a mechanical version of that mechanism, and added it to an existing 4.4-cm (1.7-inch)-long insect-inspired robot known as the HAMR. Its name an acronym for Harvard ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...

The Harvard Ambulatory Microrobot — nicknamed HAMR — is a versatile robot that can run at high speeds, jump, climb, turn sharply, carry payloads and fall from great distances without being injured.

Now, HAMR is outfitted with a robotic furcula ... to transfer momentum and initiate the jump." To go airborne, the robot uses what's called latch-mediated spring actuation, in which potential ...

The company’s roadmap to the future of HDD technology shows a clear progression from energy-assisted Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (ePMR) to Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR ...

Micro robots like Robobee & HAMR-Jr could be more impactful than bigger robots like Boston Dynamics' Atlas. Biomimicry plays a crucial role in solving challenges in microrobotics, inspired by the ...

To meet this demand today and into the future, Tan announced that the company’s HAMR development is accelerating as testing is underway with two major hyperscale customers.” Published first on ...

See areal density. A Trillion Bits Per Square Inch Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) combines perpendicular recording with a laser to heat the medium and bumps areal density to more than a ...

One of the technologies that the firm touts as its preferred solution, heat-assisted magnetic recording, or HAMR, improves the “writeability” and storage density of hard drives by applying ...
