Recent advancements in robotics have brought us closer to a future where robot hands can mimic the dexterity and touch sensitivity of human hands. This marks a significant shift in the field, as the ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

The Shadow Robot Company's take on the robotic hand, introduced in 2007, draws its power and dexterity from compressed air. Forty "muscles" made of rubber tubing are attached to various points on the ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

Alamgir Karim, University of Houston Dow Chair and Welch Foundation Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, is leading a team that makes prosthetic hands move with fine motor skills. In ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

What if the future of robotics and prosthetics could fit in the palm of your hand? Enter the Wuji Hand, a new innovation that redefines what’s possible in human-like motion and precision. With its 20 ...

In early October, Tesla demo’d Optimus, its humanoid robot. The company’s previous demo had involved marching a human out in a robot-like bodysuit, so when Optimus walked slowly around the stage, it ...
