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.

EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

T he human hand is often hailed as the “pinnacle of dexterity”, but there’s always room for improvement. In a new study, ...

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...

A modular robotic hand that crawls, grasps from multiple angles, and operates independently—pointing to new possibilities for electronics-driven automation and compact robotic systems.

Like something out of the Addams Family, scientists have created a detachable robotic hand that can crawl and grab objects.

The proposed robotic hand is designed for dexterity and has versatile functions for grasping, crawling and locomotion.

Each station is to be capable of communication at a speed of 100 five-letter words per minute each way, during a daily ...

Abstract: Tactile sensing plays a crucial role in robot grasping and manipulation by providing essential contact information between the robot and the environment. In this paper, we present AllTact ...

Robots need to move, right? That’s where actuators and motors come in. Think of them as the muscles and joints of a robot.

A soft robot gripper changes shape to gently lift fragile objects and even humans, combining flexibility with surprising ...
