A grouping of Mitsubishi Electric’s AC drives or variable frequency drives (VFDs). In the competitive landscape of machine design, engineers in food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors face the ...

Surely, if you’re reading this website you’ve teased the thought of building your own 3D printer. I certainly did. But from my years of repeated rebuilds of my homebrew laser cutter, I learned one ...

Breaking down a machine into systems based on both functionality and resources can simplify design and maintenance, a concept explored in a recent column from Control Design. For controls engineers, ...

Humanoid robots are rapidly improving in motion fluidity, making them more human-like and suitable for complex tasks.

Last year, in a tech report on artificial intelligence (AI), BD+C reported that Arup had applied a “neural network” to a light rail design and reduced the number of utility clashes by over 90%, saving ...

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) facilitate interaction between a human operator and a machine, allowing users to control machinery and receive feedback while ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

Are machines capable of design? Though a persistent question, it is one that increasingly accompanies discussions on architecture and the future of artificial intelligence. But what exactly is AI ...
