Harvard researchers invented a robotic hand to grab gelatinous jellyfish

The robot may be a bit clumsy. When they carry boxes in the warehouse, their strong grip may not be a problem, but they can damage fragile marine life, such as jellyfish. Now researchers may have a solution. Researchers at Harvard University have invented a robotic hand that has a soft gripper and a gentle gripper that uses "silicone fingers like fettuccini" to grab and release fragile gelatinous jellyfish.

About 95% of the jellyfish are water, and the remaining 5% of the body is very fragile. Currently, most of the tools used to capture jellyfish in their natural habitat are developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, and when they attempt to capture jellyfish, they are often broken into pieces. In contrast, these silicone "fingers" are water-swellable and hydraulically used, preferring gentle gripping. According to the researchers, they exert less than one-tenth of the pressure on the eyes.

The device was developed at Harvard University's Wyss Institute and City University's Baruch College. Researchers have recently shared their findings on scientific robotics. They found significant researchability in jellyfish, such as green fluorescent protein (gfp), which is used to study gene expression. Some people believe that they can help us fight aging.

Jellyfish may not like to be entangled by fingertips, but will not be harmed during this process. The researchers tested the clips at the New England Aquarium, where they grabbed swimming moon jellyfish, jelly blubbers, and spotted jellyfish -- all of which are as big as golf balls. It is speculated that the jellyfish did not show any signs of stress, and the gripper was able to open and close about 100 times before showing signs of wear.

This technology can also help researchers collect and study other marine life and can promote the development of other soft robots. We've seen devices designed for space exploration and healthcare that are triggered by methods such as heat and air pressure. Soft robots are an ideal solution to help solve long-standing problems and can span a wide range of areas.


Are such issues only because of your cylindrical grinding machine?
Causes of geometry faults such as improper circularity and cylindricity as well as surface roughness could be the insufficient machine precision or the balance of grinding stones. However, in many cases, all those issues may be caused by the accuracy of the "Center Hole". 
If you feel something should be improved, please first check the accuracy of the center hole. Not only can the causes of accuracy failure be because of center hole, but the "Centering machine" and "Center Hole Grinding Machine" can be the causes, too. 

"2M8015" created by a highly precise Machining Center manufacturing technique
XINXIANG SUNRISE's machining center, well known for its excellent precision and long lifetime, is highly appreciated by world-class machine manufacturers. And "2M8015", SUNRISE's Center Hole Grinding machine, is developed by utilizing SUNRISE's designing philosophy and essences of the manufacturing technique.
2M8015 is a precise center hole grinding machine capable of grinding both center holes accurately without turning the work pieces. Delivery of 2M8015 into the market made a step forward to the future potential of extra precision cylindrical grinding machines. 

The accuracy of the center hole influences that of cylindrical grinding greatly. The grinding motion of the unique grinding stone of 2M8015 is capable of grinding the center hole into the super-accurate polygonal shape with a deviation of 2μm or less, and this can only be realized by the cutting edge technology of SUNRISE. The center hole, which is polygonal-shaped based on the three-point support principle, is in contact with the spindle stock of the cylindrical grinding machine and the center of tailstock at three points precisely and securely. This makes possible the further higher grinding accuracy using your currently available cylindrical grinding machines.
