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 ...

Uncover the unique design of GRIP-tape, a robot hand featuring measuring tape that showcases creativity in engineering.

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 extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...

Scientists have taken advantage of that dual nature in a clever new robotic gripper designed for handling fragile items. Created by Assoc. Prof. Nick Gravish and colleagues at UC San Diego ...

But to engineers at the University of California San Diego, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be ...

Scientists have developed a ‘hairy robotic gripper’ inspired by ant jaws in a research project backed by Ocado and Amazon. The “versatile gripper” improves the capability of current robotic handling ...

The gripper can be used in a harvesting robot, for example, to harvest soft fruit. However, it is also suitable for screwing in screws with a screwdriver, for example. Harvesting fruit and ...

Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson says robots and drones are revolutionizing fruit farming with faster picking and smarter ...
