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 ...

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.

Millirobots with tunable adhesive microstructures grip and release solids and liquids in both air and underwater environments ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have studied the the movement of ants' hairy mouths and used it to develop a robotic gripper. In the past robots hands have been based on human hands ...

Scientists have developed a ‘hairy robotic gripper’ inspired by ant jaws in a research project backed by Ocado and Amazon. The “versatile gripper” improves the capability of current robotic handling ...
