Soft grippers, which are built from flexible materials that can bend and deform, are attracting a lot of attention from ...

A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it grasps and releases objects without using any electricity at all. Developed by a team of researchers at the University of ...

Building a household cleaning robot involves combining mechanical design with smart control systems, as demonstrated by Over Engineer. This hands-on walkthrough focuses on constructing a cable-driven ...

A team of researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) has developed a soft robotic ...

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 ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

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 ...

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 engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...

[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 ...
