Called “GRIP-tape,” a backronym for Grasping and Rolling in Plane, this newly developed product demonstrates that a high-tech ...

The proposed robot, dubbed GRIP-tape, which stands, in part, for grasping and rolling in-plane, reportedly solves a problem ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at the University of Toronto and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have created a set of tiny ...

But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be a particularly good fit for agriculture ...

Cobots, otherwise known as collaborative robots, are edging their way into industries ranging from manufacturing to ...

A team of robotics experts at UC San Diego has developed a robotic gripper based on measuring tape. The tape is a good material for grippers because it is both strong and flexible.

Robotic tools are too big for ‘keyhole’ brain surgery – but a new miniature technology using magnets could change all that.

The GRIP-tape gripper from UC San Diego utilizes measuring tape for a unique, flexible design, enhancing robotic handling of ...
