At age fifteen, Shiva Nathan is already internationally recognized in the field of robotics—during last month’s Mobile World Congress, the teen won a $5,000 prize for his artificial arm, a design that ...

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 ...

Seeed Studio's Amazing Hand is an open-source, 3D-printable robotic hand kit with eight degrees of freedom (8-DOF), designed ...

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 ...

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 ...

While there are now a number of robotic hands that can grasp objects, it's usually impossible to change a grasped object's orientation within the hand without releasing it. A new robotic hand is able ...

Researchers from the Italian Institute of Technology and Brown University in the US have found that people can “sense” a robot’s hand as an extension of their body. They found that performing a joint ...

A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans. The hand could eventually be used as a ...
