1. Joints - The Foundation of Movement Joints are the moving links in a robotic arm. They let the arm bend, rotate, or change ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft robots. Now, ...

video: Video of a soft robotic gripper is not only 3D printed in one print, it also doesn’t need any electronics to work. The device was developed by a team of roboticists at the University of ...

Researchers have successfully 3D-printed a soft robotic gripper that can function immediately after fabrication without any electronics technology, allowing it to function both mounted or untethered ...

Making more human-like robotic grippers are made possible by adding sensory capabilities to the "fingers," providing feedback to the gripper and allowing it to adjust appropriately. However, ...

To mimic the dexterity of human hands, robot grippers have undergone significant advancements to pick and place a variety of products ever more deftly. Many of these advances were based on giving ...

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 ...

Humans have built cranes capable of lifting ridiculously heavy objects and moving them around with ease. We have also designed massive ships to transport large, heavy cargo across thousands of miles ...
