Last year a warehouse robotics team I worked with spent eleven weeks chasing a bug that turned out to be a voltage sag. Their AMR kept stalling on a specific stretch of concrete near a charging dock. Software logs looked clean. Their lead engineer finally put a scope on the motor rail and watched a […]

Industrial robots are becoming more compact, more capable, and more dependent on electronics. A modern robotic system may combine servo drives, power converters, motion controllers, sensors, and onboard computing hardware within a limited amount of space. Each component performs a different function, but they share one engineering challenge: heat. For robot manufacturers and automation system […]
