End of arm tooling (EoAT) refers to the devices attached to the end of a robotic arm that allow it to interact with objects and perform specific tasks. These tools range from simple grippers to ...

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

Robotic surgical tools (around 8 millimetres in diameter) have been used for decades in keyhole surgery for other parts of the body. The challenge has been making a tool small enough (3mm in diameter) ...
