…turned to a study published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), that said businesses repeatedly cite the high costs of the robotic equipment as well as its integration into the production line as a challenge. With this new leasing service, U.S.-based companies can avoid the initial investment and only pay a monthly rate much lower than the cost of renting the equipment, said HowToRobot. A robot of $130,000 could cost $2,549 a month in leasing, or $16 an hour,…

…with MassRobotics to help robotics startups in Massachusetts. Aura compensates for eccentricity Aura solves the largest source of angular error, eccentricity, which is caused by off-center scale mounting and bearing runout, claimed Celera Motion. Robotics developers often use two encoders to compensate for the error, increasing cost and power consumption. Aura has a built-in compensation algorithm, thereby eliminating the need for the second encoder, it said. The Aura line extension enables a wider range of customizable scale sizes, along with…
