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 ...

AgileX Robotics has unveiled a new demonstration combining its robotics arm and hand to execute intricate manipulation tasks with smooth, human-like efficiency. A new video released by the firm ...

As difficult as it is for a human to learn ambidexterity, it’s quite easy to program into a humanoid robot. After all, a ...

Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects -- and not drop them -- using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its 'skin ...

Robots can lift heavy loads and work nonstop, tirelessly moving boxes or assembling parts on an assembly line. But ask them to perform something simple for a human, like turning a door handle ...

A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather than by sight.

Columbia Engineering 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 ...

The Mario-playing hand, as well as two turtlelike “soft robots” described in the same recent Science Advances paper, were each 3-D-printed in a single process that only took three to eight hours.

To build a “hand” for a robot apple picker, Joe Davidson first had to learn how to pick apples. TrendingU.S. and Brazil farm interests clash on trade practicesOregon regulators accuse […] ...

A similar robot was able to solve the Rubik's cube last year. In that case, the researchers had to randomize parameters by hand-picking permutations they thought would lead to a better algorithm.
