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

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 ...

For some time now, we've been hearing about "bistable" devices that can remain in either of two states without expending any energy. A new one, inspired by plant seed pods, takes the form of a robotic ...

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, ...

What makes a humanoid hand so fascinating? Imagine a robotic gripper delicately assembling intricate components on a factory floor or carefully holding fragile medical instruments during surgery.

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 ...

ONROBOT is introducing two grippers as end-effectors for collaborative robots (cobots) engaged in heavy-duty handling operations. Following several years of significant development, collaborative ...
