University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney researchers are exploring ways of handling delicate objects. Their soft fabric robotic gripper behaves like an elephant's trunk to grasp, pick up and release objects without breaking them.
According to the researchers, this technology could be widely applied in sectors where fragile objects are handled, such as agriculture, food and the scientific and resource exploration industries.
