Engineers have developed a robotic arm that draws on the sensory architecture of the ...

Festo has introduced GripperAI, an AI-powered software solution that enables robots to handle mixed, unfamiliar and randomly ...

Fish-scale-like gaps help soft robotic grippers sense bending, texture, and firmness through small contact changes.

Festo has released a compact cobot gripper, and its robot-agnostic GripperAI enables grasping of objects without prior ...

Tools that offer early and accurate insight into plant health—and allow individual plant interventions—are key to increasing crop yields as environmental pressures increasingly impact horticulture and ...

A flexible foam sensor built from silver selenide detects temperature and pressure simultaneously, enabling a robotic gripper to identify nine different materials with 96% accuracy. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers have built AI models that take raw camera images and joint-position readings from robot arms and convert them ...

Energy remains a significant factor in industrial production processes. High levels of energy consumption make production more expensive and exacerbate the climate crisis. A new type of robot ...

Countless industrial tools and robots need to grip things, and because we humans learn to grip since infancy, we can easily underestimate how complex gripping actually is. If our grip is too rigid, we ...
