Robotic hands do show a lot of promise for various applications, but their mechanical complexity still limits their possible uses. A new air-powered hand is much simpler, but still dextrous enough to ...

In context: Engineers often model robots after humans. Even the robotic arms in a car manufacturing plant bear a passing resemblance to their human counterpart. The main difference usually comes down ...

Robotics researchers from the University of Maryland have created a 3D printed soft robotic hand. One of the biggest problems with robotic hands so far is that they lack the dexterity required to ...

We’re not sure if robots will indeed take over and replace humans someday, but they are now capable of copying a lot of our activities, including our hobbies. Take this robotic hand for instance, ...

This is the impressive moment a robotic hand grasps objects just like a human. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have created a robotic hand that can pick up ...

The Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) of the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va., has developed a robotic hand that can The Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat ...
