30th Anniversary of Spiro Agnew Resignation

engineer_know on Instagram: "🌌 SpiRobs – Nature’s Spiral Inspiring Future Robotics From seashells to galaxies, the logarithmic spiral is everywhere in nature. 🌊✨ Inspired by this design, SpiRobs are bioinspired robots that are: ✅ 3D-printed and easy to build ✅ Actuated by cables for fast, life-like motion ✅ Capable of grasping objects of any shape, size, or weight With prototypes ranging from mini grippers to drone-mounted manipulators and tendril-like multi-robot arrays, SpiRobs show us how n

ASME on Instagram: "Inspired by the logarithmic spiral patterns found in animal appendages like octopus tentacles and elephant trunks, SpiRobs is a new kind of soft robot developed by researchers at @studyatustc! SpiRobs can bend, wrap, and adjust its shape to interact with objects more naturally—much like its biological counterparts. It can grasp objects that vary in size by more than two orders of magnitude and lift up to 260 times its own weight. The best part? SpiRobs uses a simple cable mec

Today in Ai on Instagram: "SpiRobs are soft robots inspired by octopus tentacles and logarithmic spirals. These robotic manipulators can coil around and grasp objects of any shape or size, from tennis balls to delicate strawberries and potted plants. The segmented tentacle-like arms adapt to each object's form, demonstrating gentle yet secure grasping. A drone equipped with the manipulator can pick up buckets, while the robotic arms handle everything from headphones to fragile plants without dam
