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'.

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’.

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 ...

Robot hand uses 'skin' to hold chopsticks, balls, and bubble wrap just right University of Cambridge researchers made a 3D-printed hand that looks just as convincing when holding some bubble wrap ...

Designing a human-inspired hand that can bend backward to pick up a broad range of objects and detach itself to crawl over to another firmly plants it inside the uncanny valley.

According to their results, the hand successfully managed 11 of the 14 additional test objects. [Related: Human brains have to work overtime to beat robots at Ping-Pong.] ...

This latest robotic hand developed by the UK-based Shadow Robot Company can go from fully open to closed within 500 milliseconds and perform a fingertip pinch with up to 10 newtons of force.

The hand could eventually be used as a prosthetic or in robots that use artificial intelligence to manipulate objects. Weighing 1.1 kilograms, the hand is 22 centimetres long and made of steel and ...
