Festo says its new HPSX soft gripper is designed to solve long-standing challenges in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Cobots need grippers on their arms to grab and move things. Grippers come in different types, like air-powered, electric, vacuum and magnetic ones. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, and ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

Researchers have successfully 3D-printed a soft robotic gripper that can function immediately after fabrication without any electronics technology, allowing it to function both mounted or untethered ...

In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As they grow, the woody tendrils can wrap around obstacles with enough force to pull down entire fences and trees.

[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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have unveiled a novel hybrid-driven origami gripper, designed to tackle the challenge of grasping and manipulating objects with ...

And while 3D printing technology has gotten much more accessible and sophisticated, other applications of automation, by comparison, seem stuck in their ways. Take, for example, a modern assembly line ...

While we've seen a number of robotic grippers inspired by various animals, US scientists have now taken a much more "direct" approach. They've devised a method of using actual dead spiders to ...

Robot arms and grippers do important work every hour of every day. They’re used in production lines around the world, toiling virtually ceaselessly outside of their designated maintenance windows.
