Robotic hands, on the other hand, are mechanical devices designed to mimic the functionality of human hands. They are typically comprised of fingers and thumbs, which can be manipulated to grasp, hold ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - In this week’s Tech Tuesday, our partners at UF Innovate and SCAD Media highlight Dr. Eric Du and his lab at UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, who are working on ...

Meta says it’s partnering with sensor firm GelSight and Wonik Robotics, a South Korean robotics company, to commercialize tactile sensors for AI. The new devices aren’t meant for consumers. Rather, ...

Designing an anthropomorphic robotic hand seems to make a lot of sense — right up until the point that you realize just how complex the human hand is. What works well in bone and sinew often doesn’t ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

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 ...

TL;DR: Humanity's most complex piece of biological machinery – the hand – remains the blueprint for robotics' most challenging unsolved problem. If engineers can crack it, the robots taking shape in ...

The very capable robotic picker-upper can grasp things on both sides and roam around freely. By Ari Daniel As a mother of three, Aude Billard, a roboticist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ...

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