Figure Helix 02 targets long-horizon chores under one neural network; 1,000+ training hours support tight-space movement and bimanual lifts.

In the process of the construction and routine maintenance of the Chinese Space Station, the manipulator of the Chinese Space Station plays a significantly important role that can accomplish some key ...

A team of researchers from the Soft Robotics for Human Cooperation and Rehabilitation Lab at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia) in Genova has conceived and ...

One of the persistent limitations of robotic manipulation is reach. Even highly dexterous robotic arms are constrained by their fixed mounting points, forcing complex repositioning or additional ...

Soft robotics has quickly moved from a niche research topic to a practical technology with real-world applications—from gentle grippers in ...

NASA can use space-rated actuation hardware for a wide range of applications, including in robotic arms that deploy equipment.

In what seems like a paradox, researchers at ETH Zürich have developed a robotic manipulator that can pick up and manipulate small objects without actually touching them. Using ultrasonic waves, the ...

Indian Institute of Technology Madras Researchers have developed a Multimodal Robotic System with good grasping, manipulation and locomotion abilities for use in industrial and field applications.

More than 25 years after Northwestern Engineering researchers advanced the concept of collaborative robotics, researchers in the Center for Robotics and Biosystems have designed team-based, mobile ...

Humanoid robots promise revolutionary automation, but their complexity, instability and safety gaps may outweigh the appeal of human-shaped machines.
