This can then be used to limit the applied force of the gripper, to avoid breaking delicate objects or crushing soft, fleshy humans. [James] notes that there are some drawbacks to the current design.

The gripper has a powerful programming interface, and can be integrated with most commercially available robots. Applied Robotics said its Smart Gripper features accurate robotic finger positioning, ...

Its compact and ergonomic shape makes collaborative robot hand-guiding safe and easy. The unit is programmed with the same intuitive software as the company’s other models, which gives full control ...

Running on just 24 volts, the actuator generates more than 50 newtons (N) of force and builds pressure at rates of up to 100 kilopascals (kPa) per second, the research team stated.

Robot trajectories used for learning end-to-end robot policies typically contain end-effector and gripper position, workspace images, and language. Policies learned from such trajectories are ...

Called “GRIP-tape,” a backronym for Grasping and Rolling in Plane, this newly developed product demonstrates that a high-tech solution can be created using low-cost materials, such as off-the ...

Cornell develops the tiniest walking robot, enabling precise imaging and force measurement at the scale of microscopic biological structures.

New research shows that copying the actions of an ants' jaws could help improve robots grip. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have used the movement of ants' hairy mouths to develop a ...

The Cape Cod Space Force Station announced the introduction of a robotic guard dog on Monday. Technically known as an “unmanned ground vehicle,” the robot dog has a number of sensors that ...
