Robotic Snake Device Developed to Grip, Pick Up Fragile Objects

In the past few years, we have covered plenty of bio-inspired robots that can take on a variety of tasks. UNSW researchers have developed a robotic device that works like a snake or an elephant’s trunk to grip and pick up objects. It can be used to handle fragile objects such as food items.

The above video shows how this robotic device can grip and handle objects of varying shapes.
