Tiny quadcopter drones, or micro air vehicles (MAVs), have notoriously short battery lives. So, if they can "perch" somewhere instead of hovering in mid-air, more power to them. A new gripper ...

Energy remains a significant factor in industrial production processes. High levels of energy consumption make production more expensive and exacerbate the climate crisis. A new type of robot ...

The PZN-plus Series three-finger gripper features a newly designed jaw guidance that delivers higher load capacities, longer finger capability, and better efficiency. The gripper's forces and moments ...

ROSE consists of a cup-shaped chamber with two soft layers. Rotating the inner layer leads to the formation of wrinkle-like inward folds, shrinking the central space, which allows ROSE to gently grasp ...

Scientists have created a four-legged bio-inspired robot that climbs like no other. It clings to rough vertical surfaces utilizing a unique mechanism that is highly effective, yet at the same time ...

Toggle-type grippers are suited for heavy workpieces. A toggle mechanism holds the workpiece securely, even during pressure drops. A standard magnetic piston allows position sensing. Optional sensors ...
