Engineers design a simple but flexible robotic gripper.&nbsp;

When most people hear the term robotic claw, they envision a cold, hard vise grip, the sort of thing that isn&rsquo;t suited for picking a grape or handling an egg. But roboticists have been developing hands for robots with all degrees of softness. The problem is, each design is a bit different and requires replacing the gripper every time the robot takes on a new task.&nbsp;
