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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Soft Robotics features its mGripAI soft robotic gripper, which combines artificial intelligence, 3D vision, and soft gripping technology to pick more than 90 pieces per minute. At PACK EXPO ...

Researchers have successfully 3D-printed a soft robotic gripper that can function immediately after fabrication without any electronics technology, allowing it to function both mounted or untethered ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a robotic gripper with the dexterity to handle thin objects like ropes and cables, the university announced.

Scientists often look to nature for cues when designing robots - some robots mimic human hands while others simulate the actions of octopus arms or inchworms. Now, researchers have designed a new soft ...

Chameleon tongues, gecko feet and octopus tentacles are just a few of the animal body parts we’ve seen inspire soft robotic grippers, but nature still has plenty to offer researchers in this field. A ...

MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has shared the results of a new project in which it built a two-fingered robotic gripper, which has soft pads for dedicated and fine ...
