Soft robotics is something that researchers around the world are working on. The idea is to create robotic devices that can grip strangely sized object like the rock in the image. The challenge is to ...

Nasa is developing gecko-inspired adhesive grippers that could grapple objects in space such as defunct satellites and orbital debris Nasa is developing gecko-inspired adhesive grippers that could ...

Space junk is a growing threat. Today, about 500,000 pieces of man-made debris orbit planet Earth at a speed reaching 17,500 miles per hour. These debris can potentially damage satellites and even ...

A team of California researchers has developed a robotic gripper that combines the adhesive properties of gecko toes and the adaptability of air-powered soft robots to grasp a much wider variety of ...

Robots with gecko-inspired hands are becoming more important during the rise of on-demand-everything. That's prompting a leader in robotic end-of-arm tooling to expand its lineup of the ...

Right now, about 500,000 pieces of human-made debris are whizzing around space, orbiting our planet at speeds up to 17,500 miles per hour. This debris poses a threat to satellites, space vehicles and ...
