To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

As is the case with any other electrical device, the less energy that a robot uses to perform its assigned duties, the better. A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

Designed for use by food processors and consumer packaged goods manufacturers, the mGripAI robot gripper from Soft Robotics combines 3D perception, soft grasping, and artificial intelligence (AI) for ...

Folks blessed with a soft touch seem to have no problem getting to grips with delicate objects, but it can be a tough ask for robots. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering ...

Researchers have developed a soft robotic gripper with a woven structure, capable of lifting objects weighing over 100 kg using only 130 grams of material. By employing a textile-inspired weaving ...

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 ...

Tools that offer early and accurate insight into plant health – and allow individual plant interventions – are key to increasing crop yields as environmental pressures increasingly impact horticulture ...

This soft robotic gripper is not only 3D printed in one print, it also doesn't need any electronics to work. This soft robotic gripper is not only 3D printed in one print, it also doesn't need any ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Japanese art of paper cutting and folding known as kirigami ...

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 ...

Utilizing soft, flexible materials such as cloth, paper, and silicone, soft robotic grippers is an essential device that acts like a robot's hand to perform functions such as safely grasping and ...
