Cornell engineers have developed a revolutionary new robot gripper that can teach itself to pick up all sorts of oddly shaped objects, an ability most autonomous robots lack. The universal jamming ...

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' ...

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 ...

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 engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...

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 ...

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 ...

What makes a humanoid hand so fascinating? Imagine a robotic gripper delicately assembling intricate components on a factory floor or carefully holding fragile medical instruments during surgery.

Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already ...

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 ...

(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.

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 ...
