The proposed robot, dubbed GRIP-tape, which stands, in part, for grasping and rolling in-plane, reportedly solves a problem ...

Called “GRIP-tape,” a backronym for Grasping and Rolling in Plane, this newly developed product demonstrates that a high-tech ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of robotics experts at UC San Diego has developed a robotic gripper based on measuring tape. The tape is a good material for grippers because it is both strong and flexible.

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 ...
