Giving robots a hand means selecting the right gripper and finger design. To handle long parts, the contact surface of each gripper finger should extend to stabilize the part during motion.

“We’re thrilled to bring Soft Robotics’ technology to Universal Robots, and develop the first customizable gripper system specifically designed for the collaborative robot space,” said ...

Because the grippers’ abilities derive from their design and not the materials themselves, the team also showcased additional potential by building iterations from plant leaves.

[Chiprobot] has created an amazing compliant gripper. Designing robot hands (or end effectors) can be a perilous task. It is easy to give robots big, good, strong hands. Strong grippers have to be… ...

MIT Engineers Create Human-like, Reflexive Gripper for Robots Parts of MIT's mini cheetah robot were also used for this new tech.

Using a novel design inspired by the Japanese art of paper cutting, researchers have developed gentle yet strong robotic grippers that can fold clothes, grasp a drop of water and ultrathin ...

The invention of a wooden robotic gripper can be a viable alternative to using traditional soft plastics or metal. It also upends traditional robotics design. Researchers from the National ...

The growth in the use of grippers is tied to the rise of robotics, including the need for robots to take on special tasks and handle increasingly complex workpieces.

A robotic gripper is likely found at the end of a robotic arm. The arm is its own problem but the grip can be equally complex. This book tries to tackle a wide range of grip designs.

The design also improves where this gripper can grasp onto objects, which is an advantage anyone who’s ever lost anything in the cracks next to a car’s seat can appreciate.
