Soft-bodied robots are unlocking a new era of adaptive machines that can safely interact with the human body, squeeze through tight spaces, and propel themselves autonomously.

Amazon's Vulcan, the first warehouse robot with touch sensitivity, has begun operations in the company's Spokane, Washington, ...

The gripper can also change to fingers that are specially designed to change out the jaws, he said. The jaws have pins and ...

A research team from the University of Coimbra has developed a soft phase change actuator for robots that uses the transition ...

The E-FPTA is integrated into an octopus-inspired soft gripper and demonstrates multimode grasping in diverse objects. A pumpless robotic glove with eight independent finger joint motions without any ...

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the ...

the team estimates that its Saarbrücken grippers could achieve over 90% energy savings compared to traditional pneumatic ones. Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Given that the ...

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.
