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 ...

[Chiprobot] has created an amazing compliant gripper. Designing robot hands (or end effectors ... The material is flexible PLA. Three plastic “fingers” wrap around the object being gripped.

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

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 ...

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

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

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip ... three fingers without denting it. "We're combining the strengths of both rigid and soft robotics ...

Each finger can move independently. The triangle sections can lengthen to reach objects that are farther away. They can also retract to bring objects closer to the robot arm the gripper is mounted ...

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, ...

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