➀ Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a hybrid robot that combines the strengths of rigid and soft robots, enabling it to handle delicate tasks like screwing in a lightbulb while maintaining necessary torque.

➁ This hybrid robot uses a novel material inspired by constant-velocity (CV) joints, which allows it to be flexible, extendable, and compliant while still applying force effectively.

➂ The innovation bridges the gap between traditional rigid and soft robotics, offering a new approach to robotic design that emphasizes both safety and functionality.

➀ Researchers at Graz University of Technology have developed more efficient and quieter miniature electric motors through innovative design, improved control technology, and new production techniques. These motors are used in a wide range of household appliances, tools, computers, and modern cars. ➁ The team reduced vibrations by modifying the claws of the motors, leading to a 70% reduction in noise. ➂ They also simplified the regulation of current flow, reducing switching losses and improving overall efficiency. The motors now require fewer capacitors, lowering costs.
