A team of seniors from different engineering disciplines developed a robotic arm end effector that can dispense highly viscous materials precisely and safely. The end effector has the potential to ...

Martial arts robots may play well on stage, but can they get work done? A look at what it takes to deliver the reliability and safety required for autonomous robotic systems ...

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide, Expedition 33 flight engineer, uses a still camera to photograph the Canadarm2 robotic arm’s Latching End Effector (LEE) from a window in the ...

Though it’s the robot arms and architecture that get most of the attention, the end effectors (or end-of-arm tooling) is where the action happens…or doesn’t happen if the end effector can’t adapt to ...

A two-fingered robotic arm reaches toward a fluffy white cotton boll in a field. The device pulls in the lint from the boll and then moves on, grabbing another, and then another. This new ...
