Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson says robots and drones are revolutionizing fruit farming with faster picking and smarter ...

The Schunk robot hand is a three-fingered robot capable of gripping ... determine whether an object has been gripped. The robot gripper has 7 degrees of freedom (2 DOF for each finger) and a weight of ...

The three fingered gripper is technically called a “belt and link actuated transformable adaptive gripper with active transition capability”. Each finger ... for general robotics and ...

The proposed robot, dubbed GRIP-tape, which stands, in part, for grasping and rolling in-plane, reportedly solves a problem ...

Engineers create GRIP-tape, a soft, low-cost robotic gripper made from measuring tape, ideal for safely handling delicate ...

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 ...

The multiple extendable boom limbs have a three-finger gripper that clutches onto the rocks and uses them as anchor points. Interestingly, this robot might be used to closely explore the lava ...

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 ...

Sensitive grippers are needed to harvest fruit and vegetables without causing damage. Such a gripper does not have to be ...
