The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...

In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The human hand is amazingly complex—so much so that most modern ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...

Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

In a recent study scheduled to be presented at the RoboSoft Conference, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built a robotic hand capable of sensing touch ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...
