Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

(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.

The robotic hand can detach from the arm and move independently on its own to grasp objects and carry them back to the arm. Introduction to EPFL's robotic arm and detachable hand. How the robotic hand ...

University researchers say they have made a "key breakthrough" in the development of tactile robotic hands. Led by Prof Nathan Lepora, a professor of robotics and AI, at the University of Bristol has ...

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 ...

For people who have suffered neurotrauma such as a stroke, everyday tasks can be extremely challenging because of decreased coordination and strength in one or both upper limbs. These problems have ...

Hands can grab things, build things, communicate, and we control them intuitively with nothing more than a thought. To those who miss a hand, a prosthesis can be a life-changing tool for carrying out ...

An incredibly dextrous robotic hand has been developed that is strong enough to crush a can, while also being delicate enough to use a pair of tweezers. The device integrates all the components ...
