Robotic gripper uses tape measure as inspiration to hold delicate objects - Yanko Design
Briefly

The GRIP-tape, a robotic gripper developed by UC San Diego engineers, mimics the properties of measuring tape to delicately handle a variety of fruits and vegetables. Its design features two triangular fingers that manipulate objects with precision and care, making it suitable for fragile items like tomatoes. The gripper’s innovative engineering allows it to extend, retract, and rotate objects as well as navigate around barriers, proving its versatility and effectiveness in agricultural settings, targeting improved efficiency and reduced damage to crops.
The GRIP-tape, inspired by measuring tape, allows gentle handling of delicate fruits, showcasing advanced robotics for agricultural applications.
This innovative gripper can navigate obstacles and handle various fruits, making it a potential game-changer in the agricultural industry.
