A new study at the University of Bath is investigating how rapidly deploying spoiler-like devices, called mini-tabs, could help future eVTOL designs fly faster. Mini-tabs could aerodynamically counteract the damaging vibrations caused by whirl flutter - a catastrophic instability that occurs at high flight speeds. maxon has provided the motion solution to test the effectiveness of mini-tabs on a novel wind tunnel test rig.

As part of a focus project at ETH Zurich, eight Bachelor students built a flying manipulator that can hover in any orientation and grasp objects. The drone is even more maneuverable than a quadrocopter and has been designed with the aim of pushing aerial robotics to new heights.

In their MoonFibre project, researchers developed a miniature system to produce continuous glass fibers under adverse conditions.

The team NTHU Racing wants to participate successfully in the formula student competition – with the help of maxon technology.

Canadian researchers develop a novel collaborative robot that can match human agility.

These intelligent robotic cameras that automate live transmission are used on stages, racetracks, and playing fields, operate autonomously - and provide a perfect TV experience.

Five young engineers want to take a sewer rehabilitation robot to the market—with a new approach, inspired by nature.

HERMES is the first team in Greece which builds an exoskeleton device for participating in the Cybathlon 2020.

Students at the University of Ottawa are developing a hipmounted exoskeleton for patients who have suffered from muscle atrophy due to events such as strokes.

A Student Team from TUfast has built an UrbanConcept car for the Shell Eco-Marathon.

The Robot Club Rapperswil has designed an autonomous robot for competing at the Eurobot Championship.

In a long-term project, the Polytechnique Montréal is building a humanoid robot. Every year, new parts will be added to the body.

The team TUfast Munich competes at the Formula Student competition and uses DC motors to adapt the wings of their electric race car to the respective driving situation.
