A robotic grasper with fewer moving parts is hitting the market, and it doesn't even have fingers. The Versaball relies on jamming transition to pick up and move objects with a minimum of hassle.
Last year, Gizmag reported on Empire Robotics’ Versaball Gripper, which looks like an executive stress ball, but is, in fact, an industrial robotic gripper designed to safely handle a wide variety of ...
North Carolina State University researchers created a robotic gripper with unprecedented strength and flexibility. It is gentle enough to fold a cloth, pick up a water drop, and grab microfilms ...
In the world of robotics, sometimes it's the small advancements that make the biggest impact. For years, robots in manufacturing environments or production lines have been in cages in order to protect ...
Back in 2010, we first heard about a clever device known as the robotic universal jamming gripper. With its business end composed of a party balloon filled with coffee grounds, it could form a secure ...
Generally speaking, robotic grippers are designed to handle specific objects. This is ideal for assembly lines, where every object the robot interacts with is exactly the same size and shape. But what ...
A seemingly simple task for humans—picking up objects of various shapes —can be quite complex for robots. A new shape-shifting technology could soon change that. A new robotic gripper consists of a ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The most dextrous, most careful and most useful robotic gripper is ...
A refrain I hear from a lot of startups is that there’s “no need to rethink the gripper.” It’s something I appreciate from an economic standpoint. It’s expensive, resource intensive and both your time ...
