Human-level robot hand can pick up a pringle without breaking it - FORTE system could transform household robots, as well as ...

A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp ...

A robotic hand with fingernail-like tips lets robots peel fruit, open lids and pick up thin, flat objects with more precise, human-like dexterity.

Research videos aren’t known for their narrative arcs. Occasionally, however, you see one that keeps getting better the longer you watch. “Beyond Manual Dexterity” is one such video. It wows you in ...

Experts from the University of Cambridge said the hand utilises ‘passive’ movement. Scientists have designed a robotic hand that can grasp objects – and not drop them – using just the movement of its ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

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'.

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 ...

When someone has been rendered tetraplegic by a spinal cord injury, they may still retain partial use of their wrists. An experimental device has been designed to help such folks lift cumbersome ...

(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.
