There have been numerous ideas floated for the best way to clean up space debris, and the latest comes from researchers at Stanford University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who have come ...

Last year, Gizmag reported on Empire Robotics’ Versaball Gripper, which looks like an executive stress ball, but is, in fact, an industrial robotic gripper designed to safely handle a wide variety of ...

Human hands are remarkably skilled at manipulating a range of objects. We can pick up an egg or a strawberry without smashing it. We can hammer a nail. One characteristic that allows us to perform a ...

Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, paper folding and cutting Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, paper folding and cutting is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for ...

Inspired by ancient Japanese paper art, scientists create a gripper that could give robot hands a softer, more dexterous touch. Leslie Katz led a team that explored the intersection of tech and ...

On Robot’s two-finger RG2 grippers — available in both single and dual versions — mount easily on the arms of collaborative robots (cobots) without any external wires; for robots that have infinite ...

Researchers combined gecko-inspired adhesives and a custom robotic gripper to create a device for grabbing space debris. They tested their gripper in multiple zero gravity settings, including the ...

Scientists often look to nature for cues when designing robots - some robots mimic human hands while others simulate the actions of octopus arms or inchworms. Now, researchers have designed a new soft ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a robotic gripper with the dexterity to handle thin objects like ropes and cables, the university announced.

EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

Unlike traditional industrial grippers, which are optimized for repetitive, single-purpose tasks, ROBOTERA’s hands are anthropomorphic, five-fingered systems built for varied, unstructured ...
