Marcel Schuck a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) is working on the development of a no-touch robotic gripper that can grip small and fragile objects without touching them using pressure points in Ultrasonic Sound Waves. Conventional robotic grippers are made of soft, rubber-like materials that are prone to damaging fragile…
Designed by an ex-Samsung engineer, Glamos is a motion sensor device that can turn any screen into a fully interactive touch screen with LiDAR technology. The device comprises a distance measurement sensor, motion recognition software, and a rotating mirror module instead of a camera. This mirror module can scan all directions without any limitations. It operates at…
Researchers Xin Li and Kaige Shi have developed a zero-pressure difference (ZPD) method that can enhance the development of vacuum suction units. Specially designed suction units allow humans to climb up walls with ease. The suction units can be used on rough surfaces and textured walls, which will be helpful in the development of climbing robots and robotic arms with…
