This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 kilopascals — soft, like rubber — to 292 megapascals, hundreds of times ...

Abstract: This study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the ...

Download the dataset you need from the link below. In addition, the Cornell dataset requires running the following command for additional processing.

A Harvard team has demonstrated that robots can be designed to react to their environment and perform tasks by programming intelligence into their structure. They created a robot capable of ...

What makes a humanoid hand so fascinating? Imagine a robotic gripper delicately assembling intricate components on a factory floor or carefully holding fragile medical instruments during surgery.

Abstract: The underactuated robot fingers are inseparable from the self-adaptive grasping mode (called SA mode) among the various grasping modes. However, many current underactuated finger designs ...
