As is the case with any other electrical device, the less energy that a robot uses to perform its assigned duties, the better. A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it ...

Energy remains a significant factor in industrial production processes. High levels of energy consumption make production ...

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.

Designed for use by food processors and consumer packaged goods manufacturers, the mGripAI robot gripper from Soft Robotics combines 3D perception, soft grasping, and artificial intelligence (AI) for ...

In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As they grow, the woody tendrils can wrap around obstacles with enough force to pull down entire fences and trees.

The flexible "fingers" at the tip of an elephant's trunk have provided the inspiration for a versatile robotic gripper capable of picking up and holding onto a variety of objects both large and small ...

The use of Cartesian and six-axis robots, as well as selective-compliance-articulated robot arms (SCARAs) is on the rise. They automate tasks to accelerate cycle times, increase throughput, and ...

An often-overlooked robot component that plays a critical role in shaping the efficiency and sustainability of these mechanical marvels is the end of arm gripper. Traditionally crafted from heavy ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Japanese art of paper cutting and folding known as kirigami has ...

[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 ...

Grip Tool Kits let processors build their own grippers for their Engel robots. The grippers are said to be suitable for roughly two-thirds of all normal robot applications. Each kit contains all the ...

Energy remains a significant factor in industrial production processes. High levels of energy consumption make production more expensive and exacerbate the climate crisis. A new type of robot ...
