TOKYO -- A rose-inspired robot hand that can pick up soft or fragile objects by enfolding them has been developed by a team at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
The ROSE mechanism -- short for "Rotation-based Squeezing Gripper" -- was developed by a group led by associate professor Van Anh Ho. It is modeled on the different configurations of a rose's petals as a bud and as a flower.
