The iPad’s approach to multitasking remains basic, and not much better on the Pro models than on non-Pro models. You can divide the screen into 66/34 or 50/50 panes, add a picture-in-picture video window, and create a pop-out app sidebar, but that’s pretty much it. While the shared-screen feature works seamlessly, app support still remains inconsistent, and the virtual keyboard has a way of obscuring nearly half of the display.

One of the basic requirements for the drives of mobile robots is high power density. For robots, this usually means high torque while taking up the smallest possible space. As far as speed is concerned, speeds below 1000 min-1 are generally sufficient in robotics, even for fast movements.

One of the basic requirements for the drives of mobile robots is high power density. For robots, this usually means high torque while taking up the smallest possible space.

Most robots will require more torque than LiveDrive alone can provide. That’s why Genesis created its Reflex gearbox. It’s based on a configuration of planetary gears, with smaller gears revolving around a larger one. This design results in a more compliant, responsive actuator compared with those used in multistage gearing systems. Reflex will initially be made out of metal, but the goal is to fabricate it using plastics, bringing down the cost to a fraction of that of existing strain-wave gears, which is a major reason why robotics hardware is so expensive.

Mr. Bolden, what particular rock have you been residing beneath these last 10 years? I went to tech school in 1996 after starting as a computer hobbyist in 1975, so I’m an old dog insofar as computing is concerned. I’ve worked in both corporate IT, mom-and-pop computer stores and my own IT services business and the reason we have 586 CPUs running at gigahertz speeds is BECAUSE the industry focused on the home user. The 386, 486 and 586 chip architectures didn’t spontaneously burst into existance – the computer industry spent a Mount Everest of dollars to build faster, better chips for the quite demanding consumer market.
