Millirobots with tunable adhesive microstructures grip and release solids and liquids in both air and underwater environments ...

Inspired by a childhood game of unspooling measuring tape, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children—and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would ...

This robot arm and gripper is made almost entirely out of silicone ... We’ve seen lots of soft robotics before, but this is some really cool stuff! You see, [Mike] is actually planning on ...

Robotic grippers that are made of soft materials have emerged as a potential solution to the above problem. However, current methods for adapting these grippers to complex geometries rely on ...

Cobots, otherwise known as collaborative robots, are edging their way into industries ranging from manufacturing to ...

Scientists at China's Beihang University developed a tiny morphable robot to explore the ocean's depths — and it's now taken ...

Sensitive grippers are needed to harvest fruit and vegetables without causing damage. Such a gripper does not have to be ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children—and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But ...

soft or hard, or slipping from the grip.” While the research is an early breakthrough for hybrid robotic technology that could transform both prosthetics and robotics, more work is needed to ...

suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be a particularly good fit for agriculture applications, as their extremities are soft enough ...
