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

A new robotic hand resembles a beloved character from the Addams Family franchise. Like the sentient human hand called Thing, the mechanical limb can scurry around and operate on its own—in ways a ...

After teaching high school chemistry for 30 years, Steve Compton is piloting the first ever Design Engineering class at Westtown School, a private school in West Chester where high schoolers can pitch ...

MIT has created a soft, inflatable robotic hand that it hopes will give amputees back the tactile control that's lost with a traditional prosthetic device. Engineers on the project aim to help more ...

The research team led by Dr. Minki Sin, Senior Researcher at KIMM, has developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple ...

In the picture an individual with a limb deficiency wears the system during familiarization. The researchers designed a soft prosthetic hand with two degrees of actuation, enabling it to perform ...

The innovative robotic hand features reversible fingers, allowing for autonomous movement and multi-object handling, merging ...

Introduction to EPFL's robotic arm and detachable hand. How the robotic hand was developed. How the hand can grasp and carry objects. Researchers at EPFL's (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) ...

A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans. The hand could eventually be used as a ...

An MIT-developed inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a fraction of comparable prosthetics. For ...
