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.

Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost ...

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’.

In what they claim is a world first, researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zürich university have 3D printed a robotic hand with plastic bones, ligaments, and tendons in a single process. Slow-curing ...

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 ...

The new robot hand goes beyond that with fingers that can feel exactly what they are touching and sense the movement and location of an object. To do this, it needed another algorithm, the rapidly ...
