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 ...

Researchers have developed a self-healing robotic gripper for use in soft robotics that is adaptable, recyclable and resilient to damage, thanks to heat-assisted autonomous healing. Researchers have ...

New robotic grippers are flexible enough to handle soft and fragile objects as well as heavier ones. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripping device that is ...

Soft robotic grippers could greatly increase productivity in many fields. However, currently existing designs are overly complex and expensive. A research team has developed ROSE, a novel embracing ...

What makes a humanoid hand so fascinating? Imagine a robotic gripper delicately assembling intricate components on a factory floor or carefully holding fragile medical instruments during surgery.

An often-overlooked robot component that plays a critical role in shaping the efficiency and sustainability of these mechanical marvels is the end of arm gripper. Traditionally crafted from heavy ...
