Five fingers at the end of an arm has turned out to be a fantastic tool for humans, but coordinating so many digits is a lot to ask of a robot. So inspired by the stretchy tongue on a gecko, engineers ...

With a few exceptions, robotic grippers aren't known for having a soft touch – so they often can't be trusted with delicate objects. That may be about to change, however, thanks to a shock-absorbing ...

If you would like to learn a little more about electronics, Arduino and robotic arms you might be interested in new project created by James Bruton this month which shows how to build your very own ...

A robotic gripping arm that uses engineered bacteria to “taste” for a specific chemical has been developed by engineers at the University of California, Davis, and Carnegie Mellon University. The ...

An often-overlooked robot component that plays a critical role in shaping the efficiency and sustainability of these mechanical marvels is the end of arm gripper. Traditionally crafted from heavy ...

The usual go-to when building a simple robot arm is the ever-pervasive hobby servo. However, these devices are not precise, and are typically jerky and unreliable. They have their advantages, but if ...
