Shape memory polymer surfaces with nanotips offer tunable dry adhesion for robotics, electronics, and biomedical devices.

Experts from Universal Robots and OnRobot offer insights into how to select versatile end-of-arm robot tools that work ...

This study proposed a novel robotic gripper that can achieve grasping and infinite wrist twisting motions using a single actuator. The gripper is equipped with a differential gear mechanism that ...

We provide (1) a mechanism for lifting a sheet of paper without accurate control of robot hands, (2) a mechanism for a small gripper to hold a large sheet of paper without bending it, and (3) a method ...

Tesla has reportedly paused procurement and production plans for its humanoid robot, Optimus, due to unresolved hardware ...

A micro-scale gripper uses a liquid-permeable surface to handle fragile components like chips and thin films without applying ...

ETH Zurich researchers have trained their quadruped robot ANYmal to pick up a ball and throw it across a field, demonstrating ...

This gripper uses a flexible membrane full of granular material which can form around the item to be picked up. The air is then sucked out of the membrane which cases the grains to be pulled ...
