Nature-inspired researchers develop elephant trunk gripper – Foodprocessing
Researchers have developed a soft fabric robotic gripper that behaves like an elephant’s trunk to grasp, pick up and release objects without breaking them.
Nature has inspired researchers to develop a soft fabric robotic gripper that behaves like an elephant’s trunk to grasp, pick up and release objects without breaking them.
UNSW Sydney researchers said the versatile technology could be widely applied in sectors where fragile objects are handled, such as agriculture, food and the scientific and resource exploration industries even for human rescue operations or personal assistive devices.
Dr Thanh Nho Do, UNSW Medical Robotics Lab director, said the…
