In October, a student presented a robotic hand made entirely from LEGOs at the 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. But Jared Lepora isn’t in ...

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

Mimicking the complex movement of a human hand is not an easy task for roboticists. As well as multiple bones and joints, there are tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves and more to try and match.

MIT researchers have created an interactive design pipeline that streamlines and simplifies the process of crafting a customized robotic hand with tactile sensors. Typically, a robotics expert may ...

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled a robotic hand, the F-TAC Hand, which integrates high-resolution tactile sensing across an unprecedented 70% of its surface area, allowing for human-like adaptive grasping.

Robotic hands, especially those that try to mimic the dexterity and flexibility of human hands, can cost $250,000 apiece. That’s too expensive for engineers at Sandia Laboratory who are trying to ...

The Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) of the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va., has developed a robotic hand that can The Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa) ...

Researchers have developed and tested a new type of human-like mechanical hand that combines the benefits of existing robot hands while eliminating their weaknesses. Until now, competing types of ...

In early October, Tesla demo’d Optimus, its humanoid robot. The company’s previous demo had involved marching a human out in a robot-like bodysuit, so when Optimus walked slowly around the stage, it ...
