Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

Oregon State University researchers have created an artificial environment that simulates apple trees to collect data on its robot hand, regardless of growing season. This fake apple is attached via a ...

Somewhere in North London, in an anonymous office block on a nondescript road in the U.K.’s capital city, a robot hand is tapping out a message on a keyboard. “Hello, World” it writes, a geeky ...

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed robotic hand which can play simple musical phrases on the piano by just moving its wrist. And while the robot is no virtuoso, it demonstrates just how ...

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 ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...
