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 ...

Tools that offer early and accurate insight into plant health – and allow individual plant interventions – are key to increasing crop yields as environmental pressures increasingly impact horticulture ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Although grasping objects is a relatively straightforward task for us humans, there is a lot of mechanics involved in this simple task. Picking up an object requires fine control of ...

One of the most challenging things for humans to manipulate are items like rope, wire, or cables. These thin, flexible objects are even more difficult for robots to manage with most robotic grippers ...

Researchers have developed a soft robotic gripper with a woven structure, capable of lifting objects weighing over 100 kg using only 130 grams of material. By employing a textile-inspired weaving ...

Engineers at MIT and Stanford University have created a robotic gripper that can gently pick up various heavy and fragile objects.

Building a robot that could pick up delicate objects like eggs or blueberries without crushing them took lots of control algorithms that process feeds from advanced vision systems or sensors that ...

ODENSE, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Automation just got easier for food and beverage and other “clean” applications such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals that need to handle items from eggs to fruit, to ...
