In what seems like a paradox, researchers at ETH Zürich have developed a robotic manipulator that can pick up and manipulate small objects without actually touching them. Using ultrasonic waves, the ...

Non-contact gripping technologies represent a paradigm shift in precision handling, enabling the manipulation of delicate and irregular workpieces without direct mechanical contact. This suite of ...

CSU researchers have created the first successful soft robotic gripper capable of manipulating individual droplets of liquid, according to a recent article in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal ...

What makes a humanoid hand so fascinating? Imagine a robotic gripper delicately assembling intricate components on a factory floor or carefully holding fragile medical instruments during surgery.

Traditional rigid-bodied robots have few degrees of freedom and large stiffness, which may bring limitations in some applications. Recently, more and more scholars pay attention to the soft and ...
