By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventor BASSETT, Michael (Bedford, MA, US), filed on November 30, 2023, was made available online on May 30, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Robotic grippers are used in a wide variety of application s, such as packaging, manufacturing, food preparation, and other fields. Many ro botic grippers have historically been made of hard or otherwise noncompliant ma terials, but recently "soft" elastomeric robotic actuators (or fingers) have bec ome widely available. Soft actuators have an advantage over hard actuators in th at they can conform to the target object being manipulated. This means that one robotic actuator can be used to securely grasp target objects of a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and weights without damaging them-a balance that is difficult for a hard gripper to achieve.
