A helping hand for robotic manipulator design With modular components and an easy-to-use 3D interface, this interactive design pipeline enables anyone to create their own customized robotic hand.

Kinisi 01 or KR1, featuring two hands, excels in dynamic settings, handling tasks like picking, loading, and transporting with accuracy. Whether lifting heavy items or managing delicate objects, it ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have developed a robotic manipulator that can pick up and manipulate small objects without actually touching them. Using ultrasonic waves, the new manipulator could be ...

Specialties of the mobile manipulator robot. The advanced TIAGo Pro launched by PAL Robotics has a height of 3.9 feet (1.2 meters), which can extend up to 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) thanks to a lifting ...

Akin to building with digital LEGOs, a designer uses the interface to construct a robotic manipulator from a set of modular components that are guaranteed to be manufacturable. The user can adjust the ...

The soft robotic manipulator is made of inexpensive materials like nylon fibers and adhesive tape. It’s powered by an electrically activated artificial muscle.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY ROBOTIC MANIPULATION AND MOBILITY LAB. Like it or not, we’re surrounded by robots. Thousands of Americans ride to work these days in cars that pretty much drive themselves.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have come up with a novel way of improving robots' inspection and manipulation skills. The team fitted a small camera to the hand of the machine, allowing ...
