Engineers create GRIP-tape, a soft, low-cost robotic gripper made from measuring tape, ideal for safely handling delicate ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children -- and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...

TITAN is PIAP Space's response to the challenges surrounding servicing in-orbit satellites, currently a costly and timely ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

[JesseDarr] recently wrote in to tell us about their dynamic Arm for Robitc Mischief (dARM), a mostly 3D printed six degrees of freedom (6DOF) robotic ... GM5208-24 for the gripper.

Mar. 26, 2025 — A tiny magnetic robot which can take 3D scans from deep within the body, that could revolutionize early cancer detection, has been developed by researchers. The team say this is ...

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far when extended. After a series of trial-and-error experiments, the engineers ...

Saildrone Inc. has integrated its Saildrone Surveyor uncrewed surface vehicle, or USV, with the BlueSentry thin-line towed array from Thales Australia. The result is a system for autonomous ...
