What RoboFab engineers in Robotics and Automation

  1. 01

    Robot design

    Mobile robots and robotic arms and custom mechanisms designed around the task

  2. 02

    Motion control

    Servo and stepper and DC motor control with feedback for smooth precise movement

  3. 03

    Sensor integration

    Distance and vision and force and position sensing so machines understand their surroundings

  4. 04

    Automated machines

    Conveyors sorters dispensers and test rigs that remove repetitive manual work

  5. 05

    Control software

    State machines and operator interfaces and remote control that keep people in command

  6. 06

    System integration

    Mechanics and electronics and code assembled and tuned until the machine performs
