Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the ...

Uncover the unique design of GRIP-tape, a robot hand featuring measuring tape that showcases creativity in engineering.

Harvesting fruit and vegetables with a robot is no trivial matter ... been thinking about how they can design a gripper that can act carefully, is easy to construct and control and at the same ...

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 ...

This simple Arduino-powered robot is called Bug ... for locomotion—each side has two wheels wrapped in a belt for grip. The robot has a small DC gearmotor driving each belt so it can be driven ...

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 ...

Jaws of success: the new robotic gripper based on ant mandibles could use used in environmental clean-up as well as in construction and agriculture (courtesy: iStock) Researchers at the University of ...
