Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

With up to six fingers that can bend in multiple directions, the innovative tool could one day be used to carry out tasks in tight spaces ...

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

A year ago, the world met Hailey Dawson, a young girl who has a 3D-printed right hand. Hailey loves baseball, and back then, she said her goal was to throw out a first pitch — with her 3D-printed hand ...

We don’t think twice about using our hands throughout the day for tasks that still thwart sophisticated robots—pouring coffee without spilling when half-awake, folding laundry without ripping delicate ...

In a groundbreaking development at the forefront of biotech, researchers at ETH Zurich have achieved a monumental leap with the successful printing of a robotic hand boasting bones, ligaments, and ...

CINCINNATI, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) - An 8 year old with a 3D-printed robotic hand will be throwing out the first pitch at Great American Ball Park Saturday night. Hailey Dawson is on a mission to throw the ...

It is projected that there are more than 57 million amputees worldwide and only about 5 percent of them have access to prosthetic care and technology. Those that do have access to prostheses are often ...
