Last year we looked at a universal robotic gripper, which was made by filling an elastic membrane with coffee grounds. The versatile gripper, which is attached to a robotic arm, was able to pick up a ...

While creating robotic grippers to pick up objects that are all the same shape and consistency is relatively easy, difficulties arise when trying to create one versatile enough to handle a wider ...

Designing robotic grippers is tough. Mimicking the human hand is a tall order for engineers. Systems based on suction or magnetics, while simpler to design, have limited uses. A DARPA-supported group ...

One of the world's most versatile robot hands doesn't look like a hand at all. iRobot's universal robotic gripper is an elastic ball filled with grainy materials - like a bean bag chair in miniature.

Researchers have developed a self-healing robotic gripper for use in soft robotics that is adaptable, recyclable and resilient to damage, thanks to heat-assisted autonomous healing. Researchers have ...

The PGN-Plus-P from Schunk features enlarged supporting dimensions between the six load-bearing shoulders of the multi-tooth guidance that allow higher moment capacity that can accommodate longer ...
