Now, as a student in Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program, Patil developed an open-source software package that filled what he saw as a gap in the robotics community.

Gravity compensation mechanisms are essential innovations in robotics that counteract gravitational forces acting on manipulator arms and platforms. By offsetting the inherent weight-induced torques, ...

Built to measure the movement, location or displacement of an object along a linear or rotational path, position sensing in humanoid robots is needed to detect movement and convert it into signals ...
