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 ...
A lamprey’s mouth has inspired a new suction device that can grip in air and underwater. The design aims to solve a ...
To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft robots. Now, ...
Ishikawa, Japan-- Although grasping objects is a relatively straightforward task for us humans, there is a lot of mechanics involved in this simple task. Picking up an object requires fine control of ...
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 University ...
Several research groups across the United States and Europe have demonstrated that 3D-printed artificial muscles can ...
New Rochelle, NY, Jan. 27, 2016--The first use of soft robotics in the deep sea describes the non-destructive interaction and sampling of fragile organisms in their natural environments. The design ...
