Inspired by an elephant’s trunk, EU researchers created a universal gripper that is strong yet nimble Strong enough to uproot a tree, yet sensitive enough to pluck a blade of grass, an elephant’s trunk is a marvel of engineering design. By replicating its complex arrangement of muscles, the EU-funded PROBOSCIS(opens in new window) built a…

Restoring surgeons’ sense of touch with robotic fingertips

Researchers are developing robotic “fingertips” that could give surgeons back their sense of touch during minimally invasive and robotic operations Modern surgery has gone from long incisions to tiny cuts guided by robots and AI. In the process, however, surgeons have lost something vital: the chance to feel inside the body directly. Without palpation, it…
