Shoulders and their intricate anatomical patterns also provide a unique test for developers of exoskeletons, who need to keep their units light and compact while incorporating an extensive range of movement.
Effective pest control can often be difficult, especially if surrounding
areas must not be affected. The “FitoStinger” drone was developed
precisely for this purpose. Its low weight is partly attributed to motion
plastics from igus that include the extremely light drylin linear guide
made of carbon.
