What started out as a response to labor shortages in poultry processing plants during the COVID-19 pandemic has turned into a robotics system that can learn by imitating human movements ...

Conventional robotic grippers struggle to adapt to complex shapes and sizes, such as those found in crops. This has created a demand for more adaptable robotic grippers that can be utilized in ...

Originally developed in response to labor shortages in poultry processing plants amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ChicGrasp is now a robotics system capable of learning by imitatin ...

Soft robotic grippers could greatly increase productivity in many fields. However, currently existing designs are overly complex and expensive. A research team has developed ROSE, a novel embracing ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

An often-overlooked robot component that plays a critical role in shaping the efficiency and sustainability of these mechanical marvels is the end of arm gripper. Traditionally crafted from heavy ...

ROSE consists of a cup-shaped chamber with two soft layers. Rotating the inner layer leads to the formation of wrinkle-like inward folds, shrinking the central space, which allows ROSE to gently grasp ...
