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 ...

UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering students have developed a new robot hand that picks fruit and changes light bulbs using just measuring tape as “fingers.” Called “GRIP-tape,” a backronym for ...

A flexible foam sensor built from silver selenide detects temperature and pressure simultaneously, enabling a robotic gripper ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Unlike their octopus cousins, a cuttlefish’s 10 tentacles aren ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Tesollo said its DG-5F-S robotic hand supports precise grasping and manipulation motions required for humanoid robots.
