Using a novel design inspired by the Japanese art of paper cutting, researchers have developed gentle yet strong robotic grippers that can fold clothes, grasp a drop of water and ultrathin microfibers ...

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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...

The current world population is estimated to be 7.8 billion, and with the United Nations predicting that number will reach 10.9 billion by the end of this century, the need for food manufacturers to ...
