EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At ...

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...

In 1980, the first industrial robot arm could move six axes with brute strength, but it couldn’t pick up a strawberry without crushing it. Four decades later, robotic arms are faster, safer, and ...

Here’s some nightmare fuel from the world of robotics: a robot arm with a six-fingered hand that can detach itself and crawl ...

If The Addams Family was a science fiction show, “Thing” might look something like this. Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only skitter about on its fingertips, it can also bend ...

In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects in sequence before reattaching. View on euronews ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking sensorized robotic hand that integrates high-density tactile sensing, dexterous soft fingers, and AI-driven feedback for advanced manipulation and ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have designed a robotic hand that looks like ...

In September 2005, MD+DI published a story about researchers at Michigan State University who had built a robot designed for remote breast exams. The robot combined ultrasound technology and video ...
