With up to six fingers that can bend in multiple directions, the innovative tool could one day be used to carry out tasks in tight spaces ...

The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...

The robot can bend, grasp and carry in ways humans can’t, which could help it navigate spaces too confined for human arms.

This New Skittering Robotic Hand Could Reach Things You Can't ...

EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

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.

To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

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 ...

Robots are becoming smarter and more common, but their ability to handle objects with human-like precision remains limited. At Kennesaw State University, new research is enabling robots to better ...
