While there are a number of optical systems that provide robotic hands with a sense of touch, most of those systems are flat, so they're confined to the fingertips. A new MIT system, however, works ...

A newly developed soft robotic finger with a sophisticated sense of touch could one day help your doctor perform routine office examinations, a new study suggests. The finger can take a person's pulse ...

A South Korean robotics firm advances automation goals with robotic hands, aiming to transform manual tasks across industries worldwide. Tesollo has now been accepted into the Nvidia Inception Program ...

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 ...

Hands move constantly during conversation. They signal emotion, stress a point, and form full languages such as American Sign ...

Researchers demonstrated a highly dexterous robot hand, one that combines an advanced sense of touch with motor learning algorithms in order to achieve a high level of dexterity. In addition, the hand ...

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 ...

The primitive five-fingered human hand is in need of an upgrade, according to researchers at MIT. So they’ve created a wrist-mounted robot that adds two long fingers to your hand so you can perform ...

People who have lost their hands due to accidents use robotic hands, but natural movements are difficult. This is because robotic hands can only perform pre-programmed actions and cannot handle ...
