The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was developed as a way to turn a mini servo into a linear actuator, giving it more power in the process. A servo uses a potentiometer attached to the output ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny ...

Researchers have created a tiny, shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides freely in the deep sea. Developed by a ...

The linear actuator that moves the laser may not be the longest or the strongest, but it’s free, and we’ve seen plenty of little X-Y tables using CD drives. It’s these mechanisms that ...

A study published in Engineering provides a comprehensive review of actuation and locomotion methods for miniature underwater ...
