This case stand out for its dexterous hand hardware that serves as the vehicle for effectively conducting physical work, ...

In tests with 30 different household objects, the addition of 'hairs' increased the prototype gripper's grasp success rate ...

Most brain surgery requires doctors to remove part of the skull to access hard-to-reach areas or tumors. It's invasive, risky ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the UK have built a prototype “hairy robotic gripper” that is inspired by the hairs found on ant jaws. Ants are not only excellent nest builders but are ...

Past development of robotic handling systems has focused on making them like the human hand and equipping them with technologies such as machine learning. The new two-jawed parallel plate gripper ...

By observing ants moving objects, researchers have developed an end effector that could make better robot grippers.

In a paper published in Science Robotics, the team demonstrated the ability of these tools — only about 3 millimetres in ...
