Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

image: Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic ...

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 ...

The human hand is amazingly complex. With 34 muscles, more than 30 tendons, and 27 bones, hands can grasp objects, express emotion, create works of art, and accomplish many of the tasks that drive ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...
