MIT complains that designing a robot hand is time-consuming and takes a lot of iterations. They want to improve that using a unique approach by giving a modular hand tactile sensors. They claim this ...

A hand crawling around, detached from an arm and seemingly with a life of its own. It might sound familiar to fans of The Addams Family or Wednesday, but this "Thing" isn't fantasy, it's a tech ...

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 ...

Introduction to EPFL's robotic arm and detachable hand. How the robotic hand was developed. How the hand can grasp and carry objects. Researchers at EPFL's (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) ...

Hands are remarkable tools, translating thought into action by allowing us to grasp, feel and manipulate objects. They also ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

Korean researchers have created a very realistic and capable robot hand that looks very promising. It is strong (34N of grip strength) and reasonably lightweight (1.1 kg), too. There are several ...

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 ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...
