A new Science #Robotics study describes a #SoftRobot made from connected units called #TRUNCs, which can bend, extend, and twist to work safely alongside humans or close a valve. @JeffreyILipton scim.ag/4iyfFlQ

Inspired by elephant trunks, scientists have developed a soft, flexible robotic arm that can twist to stiffen, enabling it to manipulate and install a lightbulb. @MITMechE @NortheasternCOE Read more in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/4iyfFlQ

No more grasping at straws on production lines! A new tool developed @UW would allow assembly-line robots' to pick up almost anything. @ME_at_UW @uwcse #SIGGRAPH2022 Read more: washington.edu/news/2022/07/2…

Assembly-line robots are great, but usually at only one thing. A new tool from #UWAllen & @ME_at_UW would enable manufacturers to rapidly get a grip on changing production needs by 3D printing passive grippers customized for various objects. #SIGGRAPH2022 washington.edu/news/2022/07/2…

A UW team, including ME Assistant Professor Jeffrey Lipton & doctoral student Ian Good, created a new tool that can design a 3D-printable passive gripper & calculate the best path to pick up a variety of objects. Learn more: washington.edu/news/2022/07/2… @uwcse @uwengineering

We're so excited to be selected by @NASA for a Phase II NIAC award for our work on large expanding space structures with @lab_robotics nasa.gov/press-release/…


Very Excited to start work on our Phase II NIAC project on kilometer-scale space structures from a single launch
