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 ...

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far ...

A research team from Seoul National University has proposed a gripper capable of ... inspiration for efficient robotic motion and actuation strategies. Finger-to-palm translation and palm-to ...

Our experience in developing, building and using dexterous robot hands reaches back to 1993. Our work scope covers all areas from multisensory ... As example the DLR Hand II basing on four identical ...

The robot gripper has 7 degrees of freedom (2 DOF for each finger) and a weight of 1.95kg. The length of the hand is 248.8mm, and each finger has its own maximum admissible length of 155mm. It also ...

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

BEIJING -- Imagine a robotic hand that coordinates its palm and fingers with human-like precision ... and even pouring tea while automatically adjusting its grip to prevent spills.

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 ...

BEIJING, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Imagine a robotic hand that coordinates its palm and fingers with human-like ... tea while automatically adjusting its grip to prevent spills. The research team ...

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 on.
