End Effectors / Grippers

Researchers created the BioflexBot, a novel robot that mimics and even exceeds core motions of the hand with a simple design.

Tacta Systems unveiled a three-part system, including its robotic hand, that enables users to teach its robot new dexterous skills.

Gemini Robotics 2 enables robots to reason through every movement, unlocking a broad range of tasks, DeepMind said.

By training GEN-1 to work with new hands, Generalist said a single base model can learn sensorimotor policies on different robots.

Deploying world models in real robotic systems requires a step that receives less attention than the models themselves: conditioning.

AGIBOT said its demoes and industrial deployments show its progress in turning embodied AI capabilities into repeatable workflows.

Tesollo, a South Korean robotic hand specialist, has officially begun preparations for its initial public offering.

Sanctuary AI is not waiting for humanoid robots; it’s applying physical AI to demonstrate production-ready performance.

PSYONIC is combining its Ability Hand with ABB Robotics’ GoFa cobot arm to apply data from prosthetics users to robotic grasping.

Festo has released a compact cobot gripper, and its robot-agnostic GripperAI enables grasping of objects without prior training.

Experts from Locus Robotics, Nomagic, and RightHand Robotics will discuss progress in piece picking in this week’s webinar.

XELA Robotics will show at the Robotics Summit & Expo its improved magnetic interference compensation and uSkin in the Universal Manipulation Interface.

Nexera Robotics’ adaptive NeuraGrasp will enable the Locus Array mobile manipulator to pick many more e-commerce SKUs.

To be used in industrial applications, humanoid robots must meet application-relevant criteria. Fraunhofer IPA has developed a benchmark for third-party analysis.

Genesis AI says its GENE-26.5 foundation model uses an advanced data engine and a proprietary robotic hand for new levels of dexterity.

In testing robotic systems, developers can fail and learn, as long as they control risk, explains Bullen Ultrasonics’ research and early innovation manager.

Sanctuary AI said its robotic hand and AI system achieved the target orientation 10 times in a row without dropping the cube.

As humanoid robotics approach commercialization, developers are still working to improve navigation, manipulation, and skills learning.

Tesollo demonstrated its DG-3F-M articulated gripper with Techman’s TM5S cobot arm for tasks such as bin picking and assembly.

Tesollo said its DG-5F-S robotic hand supports precise grasping and manipulation motions required for humanoid robots.

Bastian Solutions needed rugged and reliable bearings for its warehousing robot to load trucks, so it turned to igus motion plastics.

OnRobot and FANUC will demonstrate common applications for automation to help manufacturers in North Texas.
