Researchers develop elephant nose-like robot capable of grasping various objects regardless of size
SEOUL -- An elephant nose-like industrial robot capable of grasping almost every object regardless of its size was developed by a state research institute. The robot can hold tiny objects by closing up its nose and grasp large objects such as boxes by breathing air through the nose. Two types of grippers -- tongs and absorption -- have been separately used depending on the size of objects. While tongs types are unable to grasp if the size of the object is too large, the adsorption
