The new design could be adapted to sort warehouse products, unload heavy cargo, or help lift patients out of bed.

Cornell engineers have developed a revolutionary new robot gripper that can teach itself to pick up all sorts of oddly shaped objects, an ability most autonomous robots lack. The universal jamming ...

[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 ...

Developing a durable and affordable hand is one of the biggest challenges in robotics.

Tesollo said its DG-5F-S robotic hand supports precise grasping and manipulation motions required for humanoid robots.

It’s a game a lot of us played as children—and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineers at the University of California San ...

In the world of robotics, one important factor to be considered is the size of the components to be used especially when aiming to make a smaller output. Adding in the fundamental and essential ...

Consider the marvelous physics of the human knee. The largest hinge joint in the body, it has two rounded bones held together by ligaments that not only swing like a door, but also roll and glide over ...

Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled a innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism that draws inspiration from the biological structures of octopus suckers. This robot octopus ...
