(Nanowerk News) To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft ...

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 robotics company Boston Dynamics has given its humanoid robot Atlas a three-fingered gripper that covers a large part of the functional range of a five-fingered robotic hand. This is possible ...

In a testing scenario at the University of Buffalo, a robotic gripper was recently launched into a fixed object while holding a dry spaghetti stick. You would expect the impact to result in the ...

Researchers have developed a robotic gripper that combines the adhesive properties of gecko toes and the adaptability of air-powered soft robots to grasp a much wider variety of objects than the state ...

To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft robots. Now, ...

Although robotics has reshaped and even redefined many industrial sectors, there still exists a gap between machines and humans in fields such as health and elderly care. For robots to safely ...
