Exclusive Launch! Ultra-Light, High Torque, Super Smooth Backdrive: The Most Suitable AKE Collinear Drive Motor for Lightweight Exoskeletons is Now Available Today
CubeMars officially launched the AKE40-6 and AKE50-8 two new lightweight collinear drive joint modules at this year's China Industrial Fair. Through small gear ratio design, shellless and drive-integrated solutions, as well as ultra-low backdrive resistance, it solved the core issues of exoskeleton power systems in terms of lightweight, smoothness, and spatial constraints, providing more human-centric solutions for medical rehabilitation, outdoor sports, and consumer-grade assistive walking devices.
Research
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Team Develops Helical Scaffold for Stable Bronchoscopic Imaging and Intervention
A team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, led by Professors Ren Hongliang and Yuan Wu, has developed a helical brace that stabilizes robotic instruments during bronchoscopic procedures in breathing lungs. The device reduces tube displacement by 96% while maintaining airway patency. It was tested in simulated and in vivo pig models, showing effectiveness in bronchoscopic interventions and imaging. The study, published in Science Robotics, highlights the potential of the helical brace for clinical applications, though further research is needed before human use.
