Friction Reduction System Based on Lubricating Effect For Robots
Researchers at Kanazawa University have recently developed a friction reduction system based on a lubricating effect, which could have interesting soft robotics applications. Their system, presented in a paper published in Taylor & Francis’ Advanced Robotics journal, could improve the development of robots that can efficiently manipulate objects under both dry and wet conditions. Based on news that […]
Increased Inflammation of the Iran Polymer Market in the PVC Group
While the rise in the official US$ value (but at the free rate known as NIMA Currency, which is lower than the real price of the Iran FOREX market) has had no effect on price increases, and whereas both trade volumes of purchases from stock exchanges and the amount of competition has dropped, but PVC […]
