Soft grippers, which are built from flexible materials that can bend and deform, are attracting a lot of attention from ...

A team of researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) has developed a soft robotic ...

For robots to be used in various settings, such as factories, logistics, service industries and households, they must be able ...

When assessing the ripeness of fruit, sight and smell can tell you a lot, but the best indicator is often how the fruit feels. Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft ...

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 ...

Insights from elephant trunk skin lead to advanced robotic grippers, achieving a balance between protection and perception ...

A team at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) has built an octopus-inspired soft robotic arm that is capable of sensing ...

Researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can predict the ripeness of strawberries by touch, then gently twist them off their branch or vine without causing ...
