Robotics firm ABB is collaborating with bionic-hand manufacturer Psyonic on whether data from human manipulation of a robotic hand can translate into better object handling by collaborative industrial ...

During rhythmic pointing movements, degrees of freedom (DOF) in the human action system—such as joint-angles in the arm—are assumed to covary to stabilise end-effector movement, e.g. index finger. In ...

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 "end-effector ...

End effectors are devices that are attached to the wrist of a robot. Another name for an end effector is end of arming tool (EOAT). They can act as robot peripheral accessories or devices because they ...

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 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 ...

Using Rexroth's non-contact Transfer units (NCT), the End Effector creates a dynamic lifting force using positive airflow (Bernoulli principle) to handle solar photovoltaic wafers without requiring a ...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the kinematic calibration of collaborative redundat robots, focusing on improving their precision using a cost-effective and efficient method. We exploit ...
