pb by Anthony FalcobpA new robotic arm, developed by a German company, is the latest piece of technology to be inspired by an animal. It’s called an OctopusGripper and its design is an octopus tentacle. It has a soft silicone covering and it uses compressed air to bend inward. The tentacle is fitted with both small and large suction cups, allowing it to grip a variety of objects. Festoa, the German robotics company that developed the arm, says the soft structure of the OctopusGripper makes it ideal for use in collaborative working spaces.br ppbr pThe post An Octopus Inspired This Robota appeared first on Vocativa.
