Engineers at the University of Utah have given a bionic hand a mind of ...

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 ...

A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...

image: Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects – and not drop them – using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its ‘skin’.

Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have extracted the building blocks of precise hand ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

To build a “hand” for a robot apple picker, Joe Davidson first had to learn how to pick apples. After all, he was an engineer, not a farmer. “Picking apples seems like a very simple thing to do,” ...

Ancient mudras offer a blueprint for smoother robot hand movement and could inspire new approaches to motor training and ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...

Teaching a robot new skills used to require coding expertise. But a new generation of robots could potentially learn from just about anyone. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...
