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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Based on the DLR Hand II, HIT (Harbin Institute of Technology) and DLR (German Aerospace Center) have jointly developed a multisensory robot hand ... Protective cover for the cable routing, slip ...

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 ...

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

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.
