Soft grippers are everywhere in nature. Elephant trunks, lizard tongues, octopus arms and human hands are just a few of the biological innovations capable of grasping and manipulating delicate objects ...

Use of robots—both collaborative and industrial—has been growing across industry, particularly in industries without a strong history of industrial robot use. As a result, not all of these industries ...

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 ...

[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 ...

This soft robotic gripper is not only 3D printed in one print, it also doesn't need any electronics to work. This soft robotic gripper is not only 3D printed in one print, it also doesn't need any ...

Researchers from the University of Georgia have published a new study based on the design of a soft robotic gripper inspired by twining plants. The team, led by associate professor Mable Fok, UGA ...

Scientists often look to nature for cues when designing robots - some robots mimic human hands while others simulate the actions of octopus arms or inchworms. Now, researchers have designed a new soft ...

(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...
