Here’s our soft robot hand in action: This article was originally published in the May 2015 issue of Popular Science, under the title “Wave Hello To A Soft Robot Hand.” ...

If you want an easy project to complete in a day or so, or something to introduce kids to the world of robots and electronics, make this light-following robot your weekend project.

For Steve Norris, making hand-built robots is the perfect hobby. He's a software engineer at work and handyman at home, so DIY robotics brings together his interests in hardware, electronics and A ...

A robotic hand solving Rubik’s cube has all the makings of hype headlines, but underlying OpenAI’s latest achievement is some subtler, more interesting science.

What’s more, the hand could point the way to better designs for robot limbs. Most artificial limbs require complex mechanisms to control all their moving parts, but that might be overkill.

The work — which is currently still in progress — is impressive because it showcases robot hand tasks requiring two hands, such as catching. This adds extra difficulty to the learning process.
