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 ...

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 ...

The researchers at Westlake University in China found inspiration in elephant trunks. ... One thought on “ Tentacle Robot Is Like An Elephant Trunk ” Joshua says: July 6, 2023 at 1:56 am ...

The research team's AET, inspired by the flexibility of an elephant trunk, effectively addresses these challenges. The research is published in the journal Nature Communications. "By designing a ...

And just like an elephant's trunk contains no bones, the robotic trunk does not have any rigid metal framework. Its suppleness and manoeuvrability come from the clever way in which its artificial ...

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 ...

The flexible "fingers" at the tip of an elephant's trunk have provided the inspiration for a robotic gripper capable of picking up and holding onto a variety of objects both large and small ...

Dr. Chanhun Park, the Director of AI Robot Research Division, explained, “Our newly developed elephant trunk-mimetic, pinch-suction fusion gripper, which uses both claw and suction mechanisms ...

An elephant's trunk can 'pinch' with more force than a human finger, ... The University of South Wales conducted an experiment on a robotic soft gripper inspired by an elephant's trunk in 2020.

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.

First, the African forest elephant, a third species, wasn’t included in the analysis. She says those animals would have provided another point of reference for the development and use of the trunk.

Why is the elephant trunk so wrinkly? It sounds like the start of one of Aesop’s fables. But in a new study in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers offer up some answers. This all ...
