A research team from Seoul National University has proposed a gripper capable of moving multiple objects together to enhance the efficiency of pick-and-place processes, inspired by humans' ...

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 ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As they grow, the woody tendrils can wrap around obstacles with ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have unveiled a novel hybrid-driven origami gripper, designed to tackle the challenge of grasping and manipulating objects with ...

Scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have unveiled a novel hybrid-driven origami gripper, designed to tackle the challenge of grasping and manipulating objects with unprecedented versatility ...

A gentle lifting gripper that could transform healthcare, mobility assistance and even unload heavy cargo. Read on!

The proposed bistable gripper can maintain its grasp even without continuous energy input, while also being able to modulate its activation force, representing a new paradigm in robotic gripper design ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

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 ...
