The innovative robotic hand features reversible fingers, allowing for autonomous movement and multi-object handling, merging ...

(Nanowerk News) To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft ...

Why and how a complicated robotic-finger design was improved by a research team. How this finger is used to dig into bulk materials to locate and “see” small objects. How the reflected image of the ...

Seezer combines a compliant 3D-printed finger and miniature camera for innovative vision-based force sensing, improving ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...

Robots are notoriously bad at handling thin, flexible objects like wires and ropes. Building robotic fingers capable of that kind of dexterity is just verging on the impossible. It’s difficult enough ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

Researchers have made remarkable advancements in robotics, particularly with the introduction of a human-like robotic finger capable of performing routine medical examinations similar to those ...

Grippers are available to suit just about any application, such as this parallel design used to handle DVDs. Identifying the best gripper for the application can be a daunting task given the thousands ...

Although robotics has reshaped and even redefined many industrial sectors, there still exists a gap between machines and humans in fields such as health and elderly care. For robots to safely ...
