Researchers have developed a flexible robotic arm that mimics an elephant’s trunk, capable of twisting while staying pliable in other directions. The arm can perform activities like turning off ...

Their innovative Aerial Elephant Trunk (AET), a novel aerial continuum manipulator, has demonstrated unparalleled capability in performing complex aerial manipulation tasks, marking a significant ...

It sounds like bad science fiction or anime, but researchers are creating helical-artificial fibrous muscle structured tubular soft actuators. What? Oh, tentacle robot arms. Got it. The researchers… ...

Researchers have designed a bio-inspired robot with a novel trimmed helicoid structure that allows for a wide range of motion and safe interaction with humans.

Oct 25, 2022 Elephant trunk-mimetic robot hand is capable of gripping even fine needles (Nanowerk News) A gripper robot has been developed that can grasp all types of objects, from very fine or thin ...

A bump in the elephant brain stem pointed scientists to the wrinkles on their trunks and the role those folds play in the animal’s life.

Artificial muscles and nerves made from the shape memory alloy nickel-titanium are making robot arms as supple and agile as their animal counterparts. But these artificial limbs also weigh less ...

The flexible motion of the robotic gripper is modeled after a biological model of an elephant's trunk, which can move powerfully and precisely in multiple directions.

KIMM develops the world's first elephant trunk-mimetic robot hand, capable of gripping even fine needles KIMM develops a gripper that mimics an elephant's trunk to pinch and attach to objects at ...

New research has found that the two ‘fingers’ on the tip of an elephant’s trunk exert different forces. The finding will be used to improve the abilities of bio-inspired robots.
