Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson says robots and drones are revolutionizing fruit farming with faster picking and smarter ...

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

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 ...

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 gripper is unique because it uses the whole length of the tape as a gripping surface. The tape can also move to rotate objects or act as a conveyor belt. The gripper can hold a wide range of ...

That’s because the tape is both robust and flexible; can be stored in a small container when retracted; and can reach far when extended. After a series of trial-and-error experiments, the engineers ...
