A Bristol-based roboticist has developed a robotic prosthetic hand using 3D-printed components that costs as little as £650, which is much cheaper than existing technology. Joel Gibbard first came up ...

A talented teenager from the UK has built a four-fingered robotic hand from standard Lego parts that performs almost as well as research-grade robotic hands. The anthropomorphic device can grasp, move ...

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many sectors, including robotics. One of the most fascinating applications of this technology is in the design and construction of fully ...

Oregon State University researchers have created an artificial environment that simulates apple trees to collect data on its robot hand, regardless of growing season. This fake apple is attached via a ...

TOKYO—Bridgestone Corp. has launched a proof of concept (PoC) project for using soft robot hands to automatically perform piece-picking at its logistics site. The project will involve robots picking ...

Engineers from National University of Singapore (NUS) have built a robotics system they say can grip various objects, ranging from soft and delicate to bulky and heavy. Designed to be configurable, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
