Building the ideal robotic gripper is still a work in progress. Existing grippers that can expand are bulky because they need additional mechanisms to get gripping appendages to expand.

In a new study, researchers introduced an innovative soft robotic gripper named ROtation-based Squeezing grippEr (ROSE) and optimized its unique wrinkling-based grasping mechanism using simulations.

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 ...

Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance win… ...
