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 ...

Abstract: Deployable robotic grippers playa critical role in large-scale object grasping tasks. This paper proposes a scissor mechanism-based deployable robotic gripper with four identical deployable ...

Changes to the climate that result in more extreme weather events, such as drought and hail, along with increased temperatures across the globe, all contribute to the challenges farmers now face in ...

AI-powered drones automate inventory in dark, cold warehouses, boosting accuracy and reducing manual labor. AMRs with buffer management streamline material staging, improving workflow efficiency and ...

A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into multiple stable 3D shapes—including a lantern, a spinning top, and more—by ...
