Energy remains a significant factor in industrial production processes. High levels of energy consumption make production ...

It can be a bit tricky for robots to grab onto things. Their clutches and reflexes aren’t wired as well as the human hand is, so rather than trying to replicate a human hand’s versatility, we look for ...

Engineers from National University of Singapore (NUS) have built a robotics system they say can grip various objects, ranging from soft and delicate to bulky and heavy. Designed to be configurable, ...

Robotic hands have a tough time getting a grip on pliable objects, but it's not for lack of trying -- most make do with rigid pincers that aren't designed for precision grasping. Fortunately, if a ...

Forward-looking: When we think of robot grippers, we tend to imagine large, pincher-style machines or those shaped like human hands, but a team from MIT has come up with something very different: a ...

Designed for use by food processors and consumer packaged goods manufacturers, the mGripAI robot gripper from Soft Robotics combines 3D perception, soft grasping, and artificial intelligence (AI) for ...
