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 ...

they typically consist of multiple small grippers arranged at the end of a robotic arm, restricting their use to highly structured environments." Therefore, the research team analyzed the human ...

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.

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 advanced multi-functional ...

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

Scientists at China's Beihang University developed a tiny morphable robot to explore the ocean's depths — and it's now taken ...

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 ...
