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 ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

Engineers at Saarland University recently used lightweight, shape-memory materials to create a non-pneumatic robotic gripper.

A team of robotics experts at UC San Diego has developed a robotic gripper based on measuring tape. The tape is a good material for grippers because it is both strong and flexible. The grippers would ...

This report documents the implementation of a behavior tree-based autonomous controller for pick-and-place operations using the TIAGo robot in Webots simulation environment. All code and documentation ...

(74) The mechanism comprises a series of nozzles or combined two or more nozzles. (70) The mechanism involves the extrusion of multiple materials from a single nozzle. (57) Simultaneous printing of ...

The robot comprises a series-parallel hybrid flexible mechanism for precise distal posture adjustment and a visual-tactile perception module for navigation within the subject’s oral cavity. The series ...
