Engineers have created an inflatable robot so nimble it can beat the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. What distinguishes Sochol's design is that it uses new fluidic circuits to control machines ...

The researchers demonstrated the GRACEs’ characteristics by printing a pneumatic hand, using a commercial 3D printer, in a single printing process. The material used was a soft resin and it comprises ...

Artificial pneumatic muscles consisting of 3D-printed structures that can extend and contract as required: this is the innovative design of the GRACE actuators devised by researchers from the Istituto ...

Although we’ve seen plenty of dextrous robo-hands before—including ones that can help robots exit cars in a very creepy way—they’re usually rigid and clanky. (To be fair, they are robot hands.) Some ...

We don’t think twice about using our hands throughout the day for tasks that still thwart sophisticated robots—pouring coffee without spilling when half-awake, folding laundry without ripping delicate ...

Robotic hands do show a lot of promise for various applications, but their mechanical complexity still limits their possible uses. A new air-powered hand is much simpler, but still dextrous enough to ...

Genoa/Pisa (Italy), 30 August 2022 - Artificial pneumatic muscles consisting of 3D-printed structures that can extend and contract as required: this is the innovative design of the GRACE actuators ...

Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. To call soft robotic hands “complex” is a bit of an ...
