Traditional robot grippers usually rely on compressed air (pneumatic systems), which use significant energy, are noisy, bulky, and not easily adaptable or safe for close interaction with people.

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far ...

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

remote controlled robot arm gripper. We’ll let that sink in for a minute. He turned an oversized tooth-paste tube of silicone caulking… into a pneumatic robotic arm. Holy cow. We’ve seen ...

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.

Parol 6 is a 3D-printed six-axis robot arm created by [Petar Crnjak] as a combination of the principles from a few previous projects. Aside from a pneumatic gripper, each axis is driven by a ...

But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be a particularly good fit for agriculture ...
