Soft Robot Gripper Rotates Objects Without Dropping Them
Original: Never Gonna Let You Down: Soft Robot Gripper Rotates Objects Without Dropping Them
A newly demonstrated soft robotic gripper can rotate objects while holding them securely, without dropping them. The design uses compliant materials to adapt to irregular shapes, allowing in-hand manipulation that rigid grippers struggle to achieve. The work is drawing attention in robotics circles for its potential in manufacturing, packaging and handling delicate items.
Why now: Soft robotics advances in reliable in-hand manipulation are notable to engineers and automation watchers.
