There's plenty of room for improvement in robot grasping, notes UC Berkeley Prof. Ken Goldberg. He gives a preview of his session, in which he will describes an approach with wide commercial application.

Cobot arms and end effectors at IMTS 2018 included products from Universal Robots, Yaskawa, and OnRobot.

A small startup is set to turn the market for hand prostheses on its head -- with an innovative spirit, compact DC motors, and a touch function.

Picking robots are useful for a variety of operations, and this webcast examines options for businesses that want to improve their efficiency with the latest end-of-arm tools.

From gecko-inspired grippers to a growing ecosystem of developers and integrators, cobot makers had much to display at Automatica last week.
