Noise, Vibration & Harshness Solutions

Robotics Solutions

Addressing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) challenges in robotics requires a combination of engineering techniques and materials science to ensure performance, safety, and user comfort. As robotics applications expand into more sensitive environments, such as healthcare, homes, and public spaces, NVH control will play an increasingly critical role in design and implementation.
