How many robots does it take to screw in a light bulb? If you’re talking about a new soft robotic gripper developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego, the answer is just one. The ...

True robotic dexterity will open up markets that automation has barely touched, such as This is where robotics evolves from ...

Last year we looked at a universal robotic gripper, which was made by filling an elastic membrane with coffee grounds. The versatile gripper, which is attached to a robotic arm, was able to pick up a ...

RALEIGH – Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripping device that is gentle enough to pick up a drop of water, strong enough to pick up a 6.4 kilogram (14.1 pound) ...

If you’ve ever experimented with a robot gripper, you’ll know that while it is easy to make an analogue of the human ability to grip between thumb and forefinger, it is extremely difficult to capture ...

In recent years, we've seen wood used in the construction of traditionally non-wooden things like transistors, bicycles and drones. Now, scientists have used the stuff to create a robotic gripper … ...

In a testing scenario at the University of Buffalo, a robotic gripper was recently launched into a fixed object while holding a dry spaghetti stick. You would expect the impact to result in the ...

A team of scientists built a tentacle-like robot gripper that they say is more sensitive than a conventional claw or hand-shaped machine — because it wraps around and delicately constricts objects ...

is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. If someone asked you to imagine a robot, says Daniela Rus, a professor at MIT’s Computer Science and ...

Polish robotics company Clone Robotics has released a new update on its anthropomorphic hand ...

Computer science experts and engineering researchers have built a robot hand that can not only perform dexterous manipulation -- one of the most difficult problems in robotics to solve -- but also ...

Robotics researchers at Cornell University made a hand that has something close to a human touch — it can not only touch delicate items but also sense the shape and texture of what it comes into ...
