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.
Maplesoft (Ontario, Canada) has announced its collaboration with Engineered Arts Limited, a company that designs and produces the revolutionary RoboThespian™ robots. The current RoboThespian is a life-sized, programmable, humanoid robot designed to be used for entertainment and communication. It can talk and sing – and even recite Shakespeare. The next ...
Dr James Andrew Smith, Electrical and Biomedical engineering professor at Ryerson University, Toronto, uses MapleSim to deliver an "inductive approach" to learning, allowing students to explore systems and derive equations from the behaviours they observe.
Maplesoft™ (Waterloo, Canada) has announced the release of a new product that allows engineers to integrate high-performance, multidomain system models from MapleSim into B&R Automation Studio. Available from Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Herts), the MapleSim Connector for B&R Automation Studio is the result of a partnership between Maplesoft and B&R, the ...
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 ...
