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 ...

A Bristol-based roboticist has developed a robotic prosthetic hand using 3D-printed components that costs as little as £650, which is much cheaper than existing technology. Joel Gibbard first came up ...

The interactive workshop introduced children to the art of blending science and creativity, allowing them to make 'living' ...

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot hand has been developed that also has these instincts. Subscribe to our ...

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

Because the hand was the only thing they needed, right? Swiss boffins have created a robot hand which includes bones and tissues which allows it to make it flexible and agile. Swiss Federal Institute ...

Today might be the golden age of humanoid robot development. Tesla is building Optimus, Figure AI is working on Figure 01, which it hopes will be the “world’s first commercially-viable autonomous ...
