If you can get past its misleading and off-putting name, the ‘stomach vacuum’ exercise can be a welcome addition to your training routine for its ability to target the deep muscles in the core. Unlike ...

Robots such as those used in factories are often equipped with vacuum grippers, for holding onto flat objects. Typically, those grippers are powered by compressed air, which has some drawbacks. Now, ...

A short electric pulse is all it takes to generate and release a powerful vacuum in the blink of an eye. The novel vacuum gripper enables robot arms to pick up objects and move them around freely in ...

A team of researchers from Harvard University have developed a new actuator composed of soft, rubbery beams. The material is already being applied to robots, allowing them to simulate skeletal muscle ...

The robot grippers designed by Professor Stefan Seelecke and his team at Saarland University can grip and manipulate objects with complex geometries. The system can adapt almost instantaneously to ...
