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, ...
