(Nanowerk News) Soft grippers have the advantages in human-machine interactions while most of them suffer from low response time. Bistable structures could improve this characteristic, but current ...

The proposed bistable gripper can maintain its grasp even without continuous energy input, while also being able to modulate its activation force, representing a new paradigm in robotic gripper design ...

Researchers in the US have developed DropPop, an innovative drop-to-deploy mechanism that can transform from a compact form into a fully deployed structure in seconds. The technology is built from ...
