This robotic hand is just as dextrous in the dark as it is when it can “see” its surroundings, just like a human hand is when trying to feel around for something. This is proprioceptive ...

Robot hand exceptionally 'human-like' thanks to new 3D printing technique. ... VCJ gives each layer of the robotic part more time to set — resulting in a more durable and elastic printed component.

Giving robots a hand Scientists 3D print a robotic hand with human-like bones and tendons As a layer is printed, an optical scan IDs flaws and corrects them in the next layer.

A hydrogel-based hand was poked, prodded, burned, and slashed to help robots 'feel.' Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday.

19 degrees of freedom. Though only 1/150th of our body weight, our hands drive 54% of our movement. The human hand has 23 degrees of freedom, allowing for a wide range of movements.

“The Shadow Robot Company [is] manufacturing a robotic hand that is very similar to the human hand,” Giovanni Montana, professor of Data Science, told Digital Trends.

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.

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan have developed a biohybrid robot hand powered by lab-grown human muscle tissue, capable of performing complex gestures like ...

Robots can (usually) walk or roll around just fine, but hand control has often proven elusive: it's hard to give them the same kind of finger dexterity as a human. However, University of ...

Researchers give robots a sense of touch by 'listening' to vibrations, allowing them to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects just like human hands. The ability to interpret ...

Using the Shadow Robot Company's 'Dexterous Hand' to play a game of Jenga. “The robot has touch-sensing fingertips and transmits [that data] to haptic feedback devices on the glove so the human ...
