String concept allows robot hand to be gentle enough to pick up delicate objects, yet still strong enough to lift heavier things Researchers at Saarland University, along with a team of associates in ...

This is the impressive moment a robotic hand grasps objects just like a human. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have created a robotic hand that can pick up ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

As difficult as it is for a human to learn ambidexterity, it’s quite easy to program into a humanoid robot. After all, a robot doesn’t need to overcome years of muscle memory. Giving a one-handed ...

'We're not quite at the level where the robotic skin is as good as human skin, but we think it's better than anything else out there at the moment.' Image: Dr. David Hardman, University of Cambridge ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...

TL;DR: Humanity's most complex piece of biological machinery – the hand – remains the blueprint for robotics' most challenging unsolved problem. If engineers can crack it, the robots taking shape in ...
