A simple robotic gripper made from a latex balloon filled with ordinary coffee grounds ...

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi examine Devonics’ growing automation ecosystem, highlighting its innovative end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), strategic robotics partnerships, and the role of 3D ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children -- and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Evolution has already found solutions to lots of problems, so engineers more often borrow ideas from nature instead of reinventing the wheel. We’ve previously seen robots that can curl up like ...

The gripper features 6 shape memory polymer (SMP)-embedded arms capable of rapid underwater stiffness tuning. In the soft state, it can perform suction mode or grasping mode, where positive pressure ...

Blue tentacle-like arms attached to an Astrobee free-flying robot grab onto a "capture cube" in this image from Feb. 4, 2025. The experimental grippers demonstrated autonomous detection and capture ...
