Robotiq has introduced three open-source software tools for its adaptive grippers, aimed at enhancing robotics development. These tools include a ROS 2 package, a standalone C++ SDK, and updated Isaac Sim assets, all available on Robotiq’s GitHub repository. This release marks the initial components...
The integration of cameras, grippers, controllers, and application software is crucial for effective robotics deployment. When these components are tailored for a specific workcell, adapting them for different tasks or products often requires extensive rework. This challenge highlights the need for...
Physical AI aims to create robots that can perceive, act, and adapt with minimal task-specific engineering. This technology relies on effective hardware, particularly end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), which must integrate adaptability, sensing, and feedback to manage real-world variability in manufacturing...
A new robotic hand has been developed that can switch between multiple grippers using just one motor. This innovation addresses the need for robots to handle a wide variety of objects across different environments, including factories and households. The ability to manage diverse objects with a sin...
An elephant's trunk, a remarkable adaptation of the species, showcases its strength and versatility as it can effortlessly transport heavy logs across open spaces. This impressive ability not only highlights the physical prowess of elephants but also serves a crucial role in their daily activities,...
In the evolving landscape of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, companies are increasingly recognizing the need for flexibility in production to maintain profitability. Automation Within Reach (AWR), previously known as Gosiger Automation, is addressing this challenge by introducing advanced automa...
A research team at the Beijing Institute of Technology has unveiled an innovative magnetic-driven microrobot that demonstrates autonomous decision-making and adaptive movement capabilities in challenging environments. Drawing inspiration from natural organisms, this microrobot can seamlessly transit...
