The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, that would look like holding a ball in your palm while simultaneously ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At ...

In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects ...

Swiss scientists have developed a robotic hand that can walk off on its own - rather like Thing from The Addams Family. The ...

A new robotic hand resembles a beloved character from the Addams Family franchise. Like the sentient human hand called Thing, the mechanical limb can scurry around and operate on its own—in ways a ...

Here’s some nightmare fuel from the world of robotics: a robot arm with a six-fingered hand that can detach itself and crawl ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...
