How many robots does it take to screw in a light bulb? If you’re talking about a new soft robotic gripper developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego, the answer is just one.

A joint project between MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Harvard, the robotic gripper uses a 3D-printed, 16-piece silicone rubber skeleton covered in either ...

BMW Group: These innovative bionic grippers are 30% lighter than traditional models, handling loads up to 110 kilograms, which increases load capacity and reduces carbon emissions, the company said.
