This New Skittering Robotic Hand Could Reach Things You Can't ...

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

Human touch is an amazing sense, and the human hand is an incredible tool. We can pinch feathers and heave dumbbells. We can grip rough rocky cliffs, gently hold raw eggs, and discern tiny, ...

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.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Inspired by the human finger, MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after grasping it just one time.

Zhengyang (Kris) Weng (MSR '25) brought a passion for the piano to MSR, where his independent project replicating a human hand could ultimately impact robots in hospital operating rooms. The gentle ...

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. — Inside a lab at Northern Kentucky University, students and professors from multiple disciplines are working on a project to make life easier — and faster, and less intrusive — ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...

Shellfish and robots might sound like they have nothing in common, but according to PhD candidate Aleix Costa, roboticists can learn a lot from nature. His research aims to bring these two worlds ...
