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

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 ...

He designed his gripper in blender, and printed it out with his Ultimaker 3D printer. The material is flexible PLA. Three plastic “fingers” wrap around the object being gripped. The fingers ...

Robotiq's PowerPick Multi is a multi-cup, dual-zone picking system designed to automate palletizing for variable box sizes, ...

The technology is under continuous refinement in research and Ph.D. projects, which has enabled the Saarbrücken researchers ...

Engineers at Saarland University recently used lightweight, shape-memory materials to create a non-pneumatic robotic gripper.

A flexible belt stretches between the finger tip and the base of the gripper, which can be tensioned to actuate the fingertip for pinching, or provide even force across the inside of the gripper ...

The release marks OnRobot's highest payload gripper to date, with intelligent control and seamless integration for palletizing and handling ODENSE, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OnRobot, a leading ...

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 ...
