A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...

Fast and complex multi-finger movements generated by the hand exoskeleton. Credit: Shinichi Furuya When it comes to fine-tuned motor skills like playing the piano, practice, they say, makes perfect.

The newest generation of microrobots is so small that a single unit can perch on the ridge of a fingerprint and practically vanish from sight. Built at a scale that rivals grains of salt and human ...

What if the future of robotics and prosthetics could fit in the palm of your hand? Enter the Wuji Hand, a new innovation that redefines what’s possible in human-like motion and precision. With its 20 ...

Folding structures are widely used in robot design as an intuitive and efficient shape-morphing mechanism, with applications explored in space and aerospace robots, soft robots, and foldable grippers ...

Advancing Dexterity Robot Capabilities Robots have been around for a while, mostly doing the same repetitive jobs ...

MIT and ETH Zurich engineers 3D-printed robotic hands with realistic bones, ligaments, and tendons. The team used slow-curing polymers instead of the usual fast-curing ones to mimic muscle flexibility ...
