The Zimmer Group has designed a custom gripper that enables one robot to handle both a crankshaft and an engine block.

[Chiprobot] has created an amazing compliant gripper. Designing robot hands (or end effectors) can be a perilous task. It is easy to give robots big, good, strong hands. Strong grippers have to ...

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 ...

ONROBOT is introducing two grippers as end-effectors for collaborative robots (cobots) engaged in heavy-duty handling operations. Following several years of significant development, collaborative ...

The study, which analyzed human motion principles and successfully applied them to a robotic gripper, is published in the journal Science Robotics. This research was motivated by the human ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be a particularly good fit for agriculture ...
