We put nine of the best laser tape measures to the test over several weeks. Here's how the top models performed on the job ...

Called “GRIP-tape,” a backronym for Grasping and Rolling in Plane, this newly developed product demonstrates that a high-tech ...

The researchers had already worked with measuring tape as part of a grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate soft materials that could bend while holding their shape. Measuring ...

The proposed robot, dubbed GRIP-tape, which stands, in part, for grasping and rolling in-plane, reportedly solves a problem ...

Engineers create GRIP-tape, a soft, low-cost robotic gripper made from measuring tape, ideal for safely handling delicate produce.

The researchers had already worked with measuring tape as part of a grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate soft materials that could bend while holding their shape. Measuring tape ...

Steel measuring tape is an interesting material, in that it's rigid enough to hold its shape when extended, but flexible enough that it gives way under pressure. Scientists have taken advantage of ...

The GRIP-tape gripper from UC San Diego utilizes measuring tape for a unique, flexible design, enhancing robotic handling of ...

It's a game a lot of us played as children -- and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, ...
