Engineers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a vine-like robotic gripper that wraps around objects before gently ...

Cobots need grippers on their arms to grab and move things. Grippers come in different types, like air-powered, electric, vacuum and magnetic ones. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, and ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

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

Servo robots come in different manners or basis. For this project, the system was integrated to perform in micro-time scale. The servo motor robot actuate movements giving the robot arm precise angle ...

Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance windows.

Soft robotic grippers have some interesting use cases, but the industrial options are not cheap. [James Bruton] was fascinated by the $4000 “bean bag” gripper from Empire Robotics, so he decided to ...

Inspired by ancient Japanese paper art, scientists create a gripper that could give robot hands a softer, more dexterous touch. Leslie Katz led a team that explored the intersection of tech and ...

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 ...

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 ...
