Bristol Robotics Laboratory have unveiled an innovative adaptive robot suction mechanism inspired by the octopus sucker. The robotic grtip ...

Oct 28, 2023 Soft, elephant trunk-like robot for close interaction with humans (Nanowerk News) At EPFL's CREATE lab, under the guidance of Josie Hughes, a breakthrough has been made in the realm of ...

Today's robots may not be the hospitable humanoids or shape-shifting Autobots of past imagination, but engineers are well on their way to producing machines that can walk, swim, crawl and climb as ...

This force can then be reversed for detaching. In a robotics system, an air-based motor can be used to create this kind of positive, negative, or neutral pressure behind the sucker.
