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

Sensitive grippers are needed to harvest fruit and vegetables without causing damage. Such a gripper does not have to be ...

Instead, they are made of simple 3D-printing filament ... The researchers are also exploring ways to add manipulators, such as grippers, to the robots. Tolley's lab partnered with the BASF corporation ...

End of arm tooling (EoAT) refers to the devices attached to the end of a robotic arm that allow it to interact with objects and perform specific tasks. These tools range from simple grippers to ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
