Although soft robotics — unlike traditional rigid robots — are composed of flexible materials that mimic the movement of ...

Each spool is rolled up, in a compact configuration, with only a small part extending out in ... National Science Foundation to investigate soft materials that could bend while holding their shape.

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

The grippers’ extremities are soft enough to grab fragile ... two spools linked together with measuring tape. Each spool is coiled up compactly, with only a small section projecting out in ...

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 ...
