To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

A new robotic gripper inspired by seed pods can switch between gentle and powerful grips, holding objects without continuous energy and boosting robot adaptability. (Nanowerk News) Robotic grippers ...

Utilizing soft, flexible materials such as cloth, paper, and silicone, soft robotic grippers is an essential device that acts like a robot's hand to perform functions such as safely grasping and ...

Energy remains a significant factor in industrial production processes. High levels of energy consumption make production more expensive and exacerbate the climate crisis. A new type of robot ...

It’s a game a lot of us played as children—and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineers at the University of California San ...

Researchers have successfully 3D-printed a soft robotic gripper that can function immediately after fabrication without any electronics technology, allowing it to function both mounted or untethered ...

(Nanowerk News) In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As they grow, the woody tendrils can wrap around obstacles with enough force to pull down entire fences and trees.

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the ...

By learning from human touch, robots can grip objects more safely and adapt to real-world conditions without massive training ...

Grip Tool Kits let processors build their own grippers for their Engel robots. The grippers are said to be suitable for roughly two-thirds of all normal robot applications. Each kit contains all the ...

In the world of robotics, one important factor to be considered is the size of the components to be used especially when aiming to make a smaller output. Adding in the fundamental and essential ...
