[English Blog] An innovative building platform that prioritizes quality and safety, Studica Robotics offers a wide variety of robot parts, robotics kits, and cutting-edge electronics. This article will focus on creating an understanding of what an actuator does and how to choose from the variety of linear servo actuators available from Studica Robotics to best serve your robot. These actuators are unique because they allow for the adjustment of the extending shaft to a specific length. Actuators are devices that cause an action to happen by converting electric signals into some form of motion. While the multi-mode smart servo creates a precise movement in an angular direction, linear actuators move a rod back and forth on a linear path. You could also use a regular motor or a servo motor with a rack and pinion linear slide set to achieve this, however, the linear servo RC actuators simplify the process. There are several options available, this article will help you determine the linear servo actuator that best fits your needs.

[English Blog] Motion components play a large role in robotics, but with so many choices it can often be confusing. In this article, we will explore a variety of robot wheels. This helpful guide focuses on mobile robotics and creating robots for robotics competitions. It is designed to help you select the best wheels for your robot. Let’s dig deeper into the composition of the different types of wheels and explain the use cases for each.

[English Blog] In a robot system, it is necessary to have efficient communication between a variety of components and devices to perform various specialized tasks seamlessly. A Controller Area Network (often referred to as CAN or CAN Bus) is a message-based protocol that is particularly useful for this purpose. In this article, we will discuss how CAN facilitates communication in robotics, its benefits, and its use in real-world applications. Additionally, we will explore the Mobile Robotics VMX/Titan Workshop Kit from Studica Robotics, a powerful educational resource designed to explore CAN technology with hands-on learning.

[English Blog] You may have noticed that many mobile robotics competitions have moved from an Omni-wheel chassis to a mecanum chassis. Why the change? How does the type of robot wheels used in your chassis affect your robot when you are competing? In this article, we will explore the differences and discuss the advantages of using Mecanum wheels instead of Omni Wheels. We will also showcase a complete solution for creating your Mecanum drivebase. This robust robotics kit, the FTC Drive Base Kit – v2, includes all the elements needed to build a Mecanum drive train.
