Universal robotic gripper based on the jamming of granular material

[@DerekPetersonLives]

That water pouring was so satisfying

[@Kram1032]

I was waiting for it to pick up that mug too.

[@CaptainCorkles]

Am I the only one that finds it hilarious when it picks things up?

[@sonofcarr]

Oddly soothing and satisfying to behold

Introducing the new innovation in robotics technology: PNAS! Our new PNAS can get hard or soft with the flick of a switch, making it rough enough to latch into, or slick enough to pull out of any situation you stick it in! Just watch as it touches this egg, then gets hard in an instant! And after it's in the air, just flip the switch and it'll blow its load and get soft again! PNAS can even get hard on top of hard to grope objects like this pointy tetrahedron! Just call 1-900-FUN-PNAS today!

Can it pick up bread slice from a stack of bread?

[@maiyuzuki]

Draemon's hand!!

Звук п-ш-ш-ш с последующим бздыньк - восхитителен!

[@wj11jam78]

What happens if it comes in contact with a sharp object? Does it pop? If so, is there a way to fix this problem?

[@utahwaxwing]

The tetrahedron example looked pretty sharp, but maybe you’re considering sharper

You know what's up

[@emilang]

:D That's so cute! I wish my hands were like that :p

[@qook1543]

Did you ever get robot hands?

[@mansur2174]

Это класс!!! Всё дело в том что до этого рука-робот не могла определить какое усилие надо прикладывать. Т.Е. когда вы берете яйцо вы сжимаете его легонько чтобы не раздаваить а амортизатор сжимаете сильнее чтобы поднять. А здесь рука-робот сама определяет как сжимать тело и поднимать. Теперь вы сможете попросить робота принести вам стакан колы и не боитесь что он его возьмет как кувалду и не раздавит. Это на самом деле очень сложно. Молодцы. Вперед восстание машин

[@goshick]

great!

Robot lab kept losing to Physics lab while playing Drop Ball, the extremely addictive, high intensity game designed for people everywhere.

[@tiagotiagot]

Is there anything that could be done to make it so the pump doesn't need to keep running while it is holding an object?

[@adisharr]

Yes, close the vacuum supply with a valve and monitor vacuum loss to only compensate when / if needed.

[@mayagrant1578]

I want to make this but I'm unsure what type of balloon I should use. Any recommendations?

[@OldnickUA]

Точность захвата невозможно проконтролировать простыми способами, но если таким будет не рука, а ПАЛЕЦ руки, котрый будет удерживать одну из поверхностей объекта - тогда есть шанс не быть концептом)

[@TheDoomFan2004]

Ты живой ?

[@forbbbi]

1:06 shows stickyness like tape. that is not counting as a griper. but good shape idea, try flower next

[@nodnodwinkwinkV]

thats impressive...

[@dugui9]

wowww it was amazing....

[@decodedbunny101]

Hello Lucas

[@MrChamptastic]

can it pick up sand

[@Ceafto2007]

I doubt

[@sephamt]

prototype of Doraemon hand?

[@FoxtrottYT]

nice

[@fluxrobotics]

when I just heard about this, I thought that it is the result of the electro adhesion. Nevertheless, this is an elegant and cheap solution.

[@ptcpeople6843]

Doraemons hand...who thought it would be true one day...

[@username6a]

This is how the Powerpuff girls hold things

[@hagki]

[@cominder64]

Разновидность пневмозахвата. В промышленном применении надеюсь это варежка не быстро износится

[@kdwaynec]

I want to see it play some craps in Vegas. You know, pick up two dice, shake them around and throw a seven every time

[@pit3ds]

прям за гипнотизировало)

[@rodstartube]

Usefull for just pick and throw, and of course not suitable for precision tasks. Weird but interesting.

[@Celicam]

And thus, Earth Pony magic was explained by science! /)

[@TheInvisiblePanda]
