Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability ...

Cable cars are certainly handy for transporting cargo up steep mountain slopes, but what if you want to do the same sort of ...

Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance windows.

While autonomous drones like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling.

Scientists have taken advantage of that dual nature in a clever new robotic gripper designed for handling fragile items. Created by Assoc. Prof. Nick Gravish and colleagues at UC San Diego ...

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 ...
