(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.

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 ...

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 ...

A robotic hand can manipulate complicated objects such as toy planes and Rubik’s cubes without dropping them, thanks to a sophisticated computer algorithm. Haozhi Qi at the University of California, ...

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

Our hands are like a bridge between the intentions laid out by the brain and the physical world, carrying out our wishes by letting us turn thoughts into actions. If robots are going to truly live up ...

Each finger is made of two layers of hydrogel that react to temperature by contracting and leaking water. Courtesy of Cornell University A new robotic hand has a surprisingly humanlike way to cool off ...

Researchers have unveiled a robotic hand, the F-TAC Hand, which integrates high-resolution tactile sensing across an unprecedented 70% of its surface area, allowing for human-like adaptive grasping.

Over a year ago, OpenAI, the San Francisco–based for-profit AI research lab, announced that it had trained a robotic hand to manipulate a cube with remarkable dexterity. That might not sound ...

A medical robotic hand could allow doctors to more accurately diagnose and treat people from halfway around the world, but currently available technologies aren't good enough to match the in-person ...
