Nature, particularly humans and other animals, has always been among the primary sources of inspiration for roboticists. In ...

POSTECH's paper-thin robotic actuator mimics myosin proteins, enabling precise multi-directional movement for advanced ...

Precise maneuvers, especially when working in tight or unpredictable spaces. Until now, this limitation has been a major ...

As smart manufacturing demands higher precision and flexibility, Taiwan Chelic Co. is pivoting from traditional pneumatic ...

A new robot gripper has been developed at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and it could pick blackberries better than humans.

Building robots from pliable materials is known as soft robotics, an approach first used in the 1960s. When designing soft robots, developers often look to nature for models, a process known as ...

This study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the developed ...

A task and motion planning method for service robot arm based on 3-D voxel-semantic maps is proposed, which can realize virtual environment mapping, manipulator planning, and grasping tasks in unknown ...
