Engineers create GRIP-tape, a soft, low-cost robotic gripper made from measuring tape, ideal for safely handling delicate ...

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, ...

For all the work done since the dawn of robotics, there is still no match ... at Koreatech is a step closer with their ingenious BLT gripper, which can pinch with precision or grasp a larger ...

They are launching version 3 of their LittleArm robotic arm ... squiggly pattern that allows the gripper to flex into place. The gripper tips also feature a simple “cutout” that allow it ...

Engineers at Saarland University recently used lightweight, shape-memory materials to create a non-pneumatic robotic gripper.

Roboticists have successfully built a cheap, electronic-free robot that can be 3D printed in one go.<br /><br /> ...

Discover how a 3D printed walking robot moves without electronics using compressed gas. Read more about the innovation ...

While biology has inspired robot gripper designs before – including designs based on bird claws, bloodworms, geckos and the human hand – past developments have proved complex, costly to develop and ...

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far when extended. After a series of trial-and-error experiments, the engineers ...
