New robotic grippers are flexible enough to handle soft and fragile objects as well as heavier ones. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripping device that is ...

Conventional robotic grippers struggle to adapt to complex shapes and sizes, such as those found in crops. This has created a demand for more adaptable robotic grippers that can be utilized in ...

(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 ...

OnRobot has announced its new VGP30 vacuum gripper. This powerful and robust 30 kg (66 lbs.) payload gripper is designed to excel at palletizing boxes and handling irregular shapes and porous surfaces ...

The invention of a wooden robotic gripper can be a viable alternative to using traditional soft plastics or metal. It also upends traditional robotics design. Researchers from the National University ...

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

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 ...

Unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending is a game that plenty of people played as kids and possibly even later in life. However, this activity served as motivation for ...

ROSE consists of a cup-shaped chamber with two soft layers. Rotating the inner layer leads to the formation of wrinkle-like inward folds, shrinking the central space, which allows ROSE to gently grasp ...
