Whether electric or pneumatic, mechanical grippers fall into several design classes. Parallel grippers, for example, incorporate fingers that pull directly apart.
Tiny quadcopter drones, or micro air vehicles (MAVs), have notoriously short battery lives. So, if they can "perch" somewhere instead of hovering in mid-air, more power to them. A new gripper ...
Manufacturers can now integrate lightweight design principles into gripper fabrication processes using additive manufacturing to create grippers that are both sustainable in their production as well ...
Western Michigan University’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering student teams are entered the following projects in the 2021 Senior Design Conference.
Scientists Are Turning Dead Spider Legs Into Grippers, Which Is Definitely Nightmare Fuel Engineers figured out how to manipulate a dead, curled-up arachnid and transform it into a mechanical gripper.

Researches use dead spiders to create robotic mechanical grippers, initiating the era of "necrobots." ...
The design for the new grippers builds on an earlier generation of flexible, robotic grippers that drew on the art of kirigami, which involves both cutting and folding two-dimensional sheets of ...
Most people would see a dead spider and discard the insect. A couple of engineers at Rice University had other ideas.
