Because the grippers’ abilities derive from their design and not the materials themselves, the team also showcased additional potential by building iterations from plant leaves.

That’s something robots struggle with, particularly when functioning autonomously, and unfortunately the solution could lie with an unorthodox gripper design that looks straight out of a horror ...

The invention of a wooden robotic gripper can be a viable alternative to using traditional soft plastics or metal. It also upends traditional robotics design. Researchers from the National ...

MIT Engineers Create Human-like, Reflexive Gripper for Robots Parts of MIT's mini cheetah robot were also used for this new tech.

Strawberries are delicate and hard to harvest—easily bruised and often hidden under a canopy of leaves. This creates ...

The design also improves where this gripper can grasp onto objects, which is an advantage anyone who’s ever lost anything in the cracks next to a car’s seat can appreciate.

The growth in the use of grippers is tied to the rise of robotics, including the need for robots to take on special tasks and handle increasingly complex workpieces.

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many sectors, including robotics. One of the most fascinating ...

A robotic gripper is likely found at the end of a robotic arm. The arm is its own problem but the grip can be equally complex. This book tries to tackle a wide range of grip designs.

An origami design helps this robot lift delicate and heavy cargo The new soft gripper can easily pick up an apple, rubber ducky, electric drill and more ...

Researchers combined gecko-inspired adhesives and a custom robotic gripper to create a device for grabbing space debris. They tested their gripper in multiple zero gravity settings, including the ...
