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 ...

Our hands are like a bridge between the intentions laid out by the brain and the physical world, carrying out our wishes by letting us turn thoughts into actions. If robots are going to truly live up ...

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'.

Chinese researchers have recently presented the world a set of nonmotorized robotic hand exoskeletons that would address the hand's strength limitations and fatigue during physically demanding tasks, ...

(Nanowerk News) Inspired by the human finger, MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after grasping it just one time.

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 ...

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 ...

If a robot is going to be grasping delicate objects, then that bot had better know what those objects are, so it can treat them accordingly. A new robotic hand allows it to do so, by sensing the shape ...
