Hello!<BR><BR>I am interested in creating a soft object which exhibits fluidlike behaviour. Using a mesh of springs as the surface but containing some springs (or other elements) underneath the ...

Researchers in the labs of Christopher Bates, an assistant professor of materials at UC Santa Barbara, and Michael Chabinyc, a professor of materials and chair of the department, have teamed to ...

A new soft robotic gripper was created with this fact in mind, as it grasps and releases objects without using any electricity at all. Developed by a team of researchers at the University of ...

Robotic claws, or grippers, are notoriously hard to use — remember trying to pick up a toy with an arcade claw machine as a kid (or an adult)? But a new soft gripper designed by researchers at the ...

The system's hybrid design is a first for robotic hands, which have typically been too rigid or too soft to replicate a human's touch when handling objects of varying textures and materials. The ...

Industrial robots are now widely used and are indispensable in car manufacturing and in other fields. Conventional robot hands are suitable for grasping hard objects of fixed form, whereas it is not ...

The new fast 3D printing technique developed by researchers at EPFL. Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne 3D printing has incredible potential for both research and home uses, but it has some ...

A control system for deformable robot-fingertips was developed for grasping and releasing objects. Previously developed robot fingertips with high friction texture can stably grasp a paper box, a soft ...
