Modular design is rapidly becoming the key to cost-effective automation, especially in sectors where demand variability and ...

Loomia created its tactile sensing developer kit after surveying 100 engineers as part of the NSF I-Corps program.

A team in Australia has tapped into the world of biomimicry to build a new type of robotic gripper modeled on an elephant’s trunk that has the ability to pick up and release objects even when ...

The gripper also incorporates a real-time force sensor that’s 15 times more sensitive than previous applications of the technology, allowing the robot to know by feel alone when a gentle grasp ...

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 are the perfect aid for machines that need to pick up irregularly shaped or delicate objects, like your groceries. The latest example from MIT’s Computer Science and ...
