It's a game a lot of us played as children—and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would ...

Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance windows.

Taken together, these industrial robot arms consume multiple gigawatts of electrical power. Many of the gripper systems work ...

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 ...

ONROBOT is introducing two grippers as end-effectors for collaborative robots (cobots) engaged in heavy-duty handling operations. Following several years of significant development, collaborative ...

These tools range from simple grippers to advanced multi-functional systems equipped ... A well-designed tool ensures precision, efficiency and safety, allowing robots to handle delicate objects, ...

Each robot is about 1 millimetre long and has two gripping arms. A magnetic field is used to move the robots and operate the grippers. Previous gripping bots had to be tethered to an outside ...

They call their robot GRIP-tape, with GRIP serving as an acronym for Grasping and Rolling In-Plane. Building the ideal robotic gripper is still a work in progress. Existing grippers that can ...
