The Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst Program offers mentorship, resources, medical guidance, and more to participants.

The Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst program objective is to provide startups with connections, guidance and resources.

The certified UR system adds up to four axes of motion beyond the UR cobot six axes, and embodies Festo world-class precision.

Festo’s cobot uses six pneumatic direct drives, instead of the typical electric motors and mechanical transmission, to move.

At the Healthcare Robotics Engineering Forum, the Festo-MassRobotics Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst will celebrate the milestones achieved four startups.

Assistive Technology, Bionomous, Eureka Robotics and Kinarm will have access to subject-matter experts and also receive technical and marketing support.

Festo partners with several international companies and universities to develop the capabilities of FLAIROP – Federated Learning for Robot Picking

Festo has entered into a strategic partnership with MassRobotics, based in Boston, to further global market growth and innovation initiatives dedicated to the development of the next generation of robotics. MassRobotics, the independent, nonprofit group serving as an innovation hub for robotics and smart connected devices, works to foster a collaborative space in which to…

Magswitch switchable magnets, now available through Festo, can improve the productivity and quality of stamping, welding, and pick-and-place operations.

Robo Firefly ultralight drone faces headwinds in crowdfunding campaign.

At the 2019 Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston, Festo will exhibit its industrial automation on the show floor. The company will also provide a biologically inspired flying robot at the networking reception after Day 1.

Motion control is among the enabling technologies for commercial robotics to be discussed at the 2019 Robotics Summit & Expo. Attendees can learn from sessions and workshops, meet component vendors, and learn now new developments can help them.

Whether it’s grabbing, holding or turning, touching, typing or pressing — in everyday life, we use our hands as a matter of course for the most diverse tasks. In that regard, the human hand, with its unique combination of power, dexterity, and fine motor skills, is a true miracle tool of nature. What could be…

The Festo Bionic Learning Network has released it latest biomimicry innovations to support ongoing research in engineering, manufacturing, and materials science drawn from natural systems. Here are the 2018 additions to the Festo Bionic Learning Network: A transforming spider that rolls or creeps A robotic fish that autonomously maneuvers through acrylic water-filled tubing A semi-autonomous flying…

Festo introduced today the Handling Guide Online configurator for Cartesian robots. This new productivity tool significantly reduces engineering overhead for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and speeds delivery to laboratory equipment, electronic light assembly, end of line packaging, food and beverage, automotive, and machine tool manufacturers. More after the jump. Equipped with basic application information such […]

Festo announces the addition of the Electric Actuator EGC to the family of electromechanical actuators. The EGC is designed for high dynamic speeds and high rigidity. This modular actuator can be used as an individual component adapted to third-party motors or as a complete system provided by one source – Festo. The EGC offers a […]

Think-tank for mechatronics and miniaturization How do machinery and equipment manufacturers keep up with worldwide competition? With (energy) efficient solutions! “Mechatronics, miniaturization, piezo technology and systems technology are catchwords which aren’t just pointing the way towards more efficiency in emerging business areas like photovoltaic”, says Dr. Eberhard Veit, chairman of the board of directors at […]

When it comes to repositioning small parts quickly and flexibly, the combined tripod camera system really hits the mark. This complete solution from Festo, consisting of robotic controller, high-speed camera and fast electric drives, is delivered as a ready-to-install subsystem, thus saving both time and money.

Sometimes a lot is made of new technology. There is a tendency to talk about the next big thing in whatever field as “The Solution”. But there’s rarely just one solution that works for everyone. Currently in the “car wars” (a favorite topic, since we are all effected by gasoline prices) many ideas have been […]
