Robots are increasingly populating — and in some cases taking over — the workplace, performing tasks that humans aren't capable of, or making others more efficient. But they can't do it all just yet.

Reliable pick and place systems have long been a kind of Holy Grail among industrial robotics. The job of moving products in and out of bins is high among the jobs that many warehouse and fulfillment ...

When it comes to part-picking robots, they're typically programmed to grasp a specific object in a specific fashion – such as a car part on an assembly line. Scientists from MIT and Princeton ...

At PACK EXPO International, Siemens previewed its forthcoming AI-driven software for the development of pick-and-place robot systems that can grasp objects previously unknown to the system. The ...

A detailed look at how the combination of stereo depth perception with 3D data in stereo cameras enables the functions of autonomous mobile and pick-and-place robots. Stereo camera use case with ...

A new gripper robot grasps by reflex. Rather than start from scratch after a failed attempt, the bot adapts in the moment to reflexively roll, palm, or pinch an object to get a better hold. When ...

The flexible "fingers" at the tip of an elephant's trunk have provided the inspiration for a versatile robotic gripper capable of picking up and holding onto a variety of objects both large and small ...
