Called “GRIP-tape,” a backronym for Grasping and Rolling in Plane, this newly developed product demonstrates that a high-tech ...

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 ...

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 all the work done since the dawn of robotics, there is still no match ... at Koreatech is a step closer with their ingenious BLT gripper, which can pinch with precision or grasp a larger ...

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far when extended. After a series of trial-and-error experiments, the engineers ...

Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance windows.

Professor Paul Motzki (photo) and his research team from Saarland University are presenting prototypes of their robot gripper systems at this year’s Hannover Messe. The grippers, which can hold ...

But to engineers at the University of California San Diego, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be ...
