Robotic claws, or grippers, are notoriously hard to use — remember trying to pick up a toy with an arcade claw machine as a kid (or an adult)? But a new soft gripper designed by researchers at the ...

Hello!<BR><BR>I am interested in creating a soft object which exhibits fluidlike behaviour. Using a mesh of springs as the surface but containing some springs (or other elements) underneath the ...

Building machines that replicate the delicate touch of a human hand is a complex undertaking that has seen the development of all kinds of soft robotic grippers, from squishy green blobs to boa ...

Taking inspiration from nature, researchers designed a new type of soft, robotic gripper that uses a collection of thin tentacles to entangle and ensnare objects, similar to how jellyfish collect ...

Robotic arms are fascinating devices, capable of immense speed and precision when carrying out their tasks. They’re also capable of carrying great loads, and a full-sized industrial robot in operation ...

A team of roboticists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in South Korea, working with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, has developed a tiny soft robot that is capable ...

École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne's (EPFL's) new robotic grippers don't look anything like fingers, but they can pick up even delicate objects like eggs. Their secret? Electroadhesion. That's ...

Robotic hands capable of picking up objects as fragile as a crisp by “sensing” objects have been developed by researchers. Two new tools built by MIT‘s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...
