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 ...

[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.

Scientists have taken advantage of that dual nature in a clever new robotic gripper designed for handling fragile items. Created by Assoc. Prof. Nick Gravish and colleagues at UC San Diego ...

Past development of robotic handling systems has focused on making them like the human hand and equipping them with technologies such as machine learning. The new two-jawed parallel plate gripper ...

A team of robotics ... arm powered by AI that can serve people coffee and carry out other tasks. The researchers put Kinova to the test by asking it to make a cup of coffee and decorate a plate ...

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far ...

They can also retract to bring objects closer to the robot arm the gripper is mounted on. The researchers had already worked with measuring tape as part of a grant from the National Science ...
