Human-level robot hand can pick up a pringle without breaking it - FORTE system could transform household robots, as well as ...

A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp ...

The robot hand is reported to benefit from precise torque control, with each of the fingers able to muster up to 10 N of fingertip pinch force. The four joints of each finger are driven by motors ...

Researchers have made remarkable advancements in robotics, particularly with the introduction of a human-like robotic finger capable of performing routine medical examinations similar to those ...

While there are a number of optical systems that provide robotic hands with a sense of touch, most of those systems are flat, so they're confined to the fingertips. A new MIT system, however, works ...

A newly developed soft robotic finger with a sophisticated sense of touch could one day help your doctor perform routine office examinations, a new study suggests. The finger can take a person's pulse ...

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 ...

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.

From Boston Dynamics’ Atlas to Google’s SayCan, most hand-wielding robots don’t have the dexterity necessary to “feel” what they’re holding. (If they did, maybe a 7-year-old boy wouldn’t have had his ...
