One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

Cable cars are certainly handy for transporting cargo up steep mountain slopes, but what if you want to do the same sort of thing on a much smaller scale? Well, you could try using a tiny new ...

(A) A user wears the EMG-driven EVF-robot. (B) The application on a smartphone serving as a user interface. (C) The pneumatic fingers embedded in an elastic textile glove. The electro-vibro-feedback ...

Researchers have created a lightweight, cable-climbing robot equipped with a computer vision system to detect surface defects on bridge stay cables. The system achieved over 92 % detection precision ...

Scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have unveiled a novel hybrid-driven origami gripper, designed to tackle the challenge of grasping and manipulating objects with unprecedented versatility ...
