The proposed robot, dubbed GRIP-tape, which stands, in part, for grasping and rolling in-plane, reportedly solves a problem ...

Uncover the unique design of GRIP-tape, a robot hand featuring measuring tape that showcases creativity in engineering.

The Zimmer Group has designed a custom gripper that enables one robot to handle both a crankshaft and an engine block.

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far when extended. After a series of trial-and-error experiments, the engineers ...

Through the theory of relative motion of linkage mechanisms, the motion mechanics, including forward and inverse kinematics problems, are analyzed, and methods for calculating joint driving forces, ...

Patent Pending Adjustable Gripper Mechanism is the first of its kind! Its versatility and ease of use for a wide range of light bulb sizes and shapes is unparalleled! Designed to also work with ...

By combining the principles of photoelasticity and tomography, our technique provides direct visualization of the particles’ force-chain network and provides the microscopic explanation for why a pack ...

The grasping motion of the gripper is generated by two mechanisms: a passive pinching mechanism and a self-locking mechanism. These mechanisms allow the fingers to perform opening and closing ...

Chinese researchers recently demonstrated a robotic gripper mechanism that mimics how a sea anemone catches its prey. The bionic torus captures and releases objects by crimping its skin. Soft Robotics ...

How was it done, then? It’s been observed that of all the things that are possible in nature, out of all the wonderful mechanisms, fluid and aerodynamics, and chemistry, there’s one thing that ...
