Maplesoft has announced its collaboration with Engineered Arts, the company that designs and produces RoboThespian robots. Under the collaboration, MapleSim, which is available in the UK from Adept Scientific, is playing a critical role in the design and modelling of a new balancing and walking robot.
[Using MapleSim] The University of Manchester is carrying out a project to help perfect the process of ‘humanoid walking’ in robots. The new Centre for Interdisciplinary Computational and Dynamic Analysis (CICADA) at Manchester has been working with Professor Darwin Caldwell at the Italian Institute of Technology, Genova, who has been ...
A Norwegian university research project is using computer models to predict the performance of complex offshore materials handling equipment. In the short term, the work is helping designers pick the best components for the job; ultimately, the aim is to automate more of the design process.
Modelling and simulation software [MapleSim] from Canadian firm MapleSoft is playing a critical role in the design and modelling of RoboThespian: a next generation, full size humanoid dynamic robot that can walk, run, jump and sing.
With offshore oil and gas drilling rigs costing millions a day, their crews need to ensure they get the job done as quickly as possible.
That job involves assembling the thousands of meters of flexible pipe that make up a drill string, and doing so safely and consistently on a remote ...
Pet food manufacturer Iams is using the NWA Quality Analyst statistical process control package, available from Adept Scientific, to ensure consistency at each stage of the process.
Mathematical based modelling and simulation software from Maplesoft is being used to develop high-fidelity models of hybrid-electric and fully electric vehicle batteries
In the fast-moving hybrid-electric and fully electric vehicle market, manufacturers are being forced to come up with new designs faster than ever before. So, the industry is turning to ...
So what's the problem?
The definition of a goal has been clear ever since football codified its rules in the mid-19th century: for a goal to be scored, all of the ball must cross all of the line. Most disputed goals result from defenders illegally returning the ball into play after it ...
Disputed goals are a major headache in professional football. This case study looks at one particular type where a ball, bouncing on the ground after its impact with the crossbar, spins back into play. An experimental rig was used to derive the critical parameters for this behaviour and [Mathcad] mathematical ...
Adept Scientific has been awarded the PTC Channel Advantage Award acknowledging its status as the top Mathcad reseller Worldwide. The company also won the award in 2010. The 2011 award ceremony was held in Athens and attended by around 500 professionals representing resellers across the globe. Jessica Nielsen, sales consultant ...
Thomson Reuters has released the latest patch for its bibliographic management and publishing software EndNote for Windows, which is available from Adept Scientific.
Adept Scientific is offering Maplesoft’s free Maple Player app for iPad, which allows users to view Maple documents using the tablet and can be used for educational applications.
Henrique da Silva, Data Acquisition Technical Sales Manager at Adept Scientific explores how the modern car is more than just a mode of transport, but now is also a sophisticated computerised piece of machinery [requiring sophisticated data acquisitions systems such as ADwin.]
The ability of robots to mimic humans is one of science's most talked about issues. The rewards for reproducing human movement and actions go beyond engineering, having applications and ramifications for medical treatment, computer technology, defence, exploration and more.
Metal stamping is frequently used to shape metal parts in the automotive industry. During the manufacture of torque converters, for example, it is used to create indentations that hold the metal vanes that are used to transmit the power from the engine to the transmission though a fluid. Hydraulic cylinders ...
Maplesoft has introduced the MapleSim Driveline Component Library, a collection of components for driveline modelling applications. Built with the involvement of several transmission manufacturers, this MapleSim add-on covers all stages in the powertrain, from the engine to the differential, wheels, and road loads, as well as vehicle dynamics.
Despite being an established concept with about 30 years of history in the instrumentation industry, the DAQ market continues to evolve owing to regular introduction of new technologies.
