Fresh, frozen and processed berries are a multi-billion-dollar business in America. In Arkansas alone, fresh-market ...

To solve this problem, the scientists set about 3D printing a range of devices (including a six-legged robot, a functional heart pump and a material that absorbs vibrations from its surroundings ...

"The F-TAC Hand replicates the biological structure of the human hand by integrating 17 high-resolution tactile sensors across 70% of the palm's surface, achieving an impressive spatial resolution ...

And it requires a 48-V/200-W power supply. 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.

Future robotic hands will have to seamlessly integrate into everyday living, dealing with all the variety we do. “That's why a hybrid robot, designed like the human hand, is so valuable—it combines ...

They started out by making a human-like hand using a 3D-printed plastic skeleton and soft, moulded silicone material. To mimic the way human skin feels pressure, they added 32 flexible pressure ...

Human hands are excellent at manipulating things in the world, but the same isn’t necessarily true of a metallic robotic hand, which could have a hard time picking up an object. If it clamps ...

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 dexterity. In addition, the ...

The prosthetic device closely resembles a human hand, with five articulating fingers made using soft rubber-like polymers, and a rigid 3D-printed skeleton. Three layers of bioinspired tactile ...

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’.
