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 ...

Tesollo has commercialized a compact five-finger robotic hand designed to enable robots to perform more dexterous manipulation tasks in humanoid and industrial robotics systems. The new DG-5F-S hand ...

Robotic brains have reached near-genius levels, but their hands remain clumsy. Most robots still ...

Humanoid robots are rapidly improving in motion fluidity, making them more human-like and suitable for complex tasks.

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 ...

If you’re going to kill animals for food, don’t waste their parts – that’s just rude. Use everything, snout-to-tail, and not just bones for glue or stomachs for drink-bags, either. Get creative! And ...

A robotics company likely most famous for a demo of its dexterous robot hand at Amazon re:MARS with Jeff Bezos has now unveiled a new robust model designed for machine learning research, which was ...

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 ...

A team at Northwestern University used artificial intelligence to evolve robot body plans inside a physics simulation, then physically assembled the top-performing designs and turned them loose on ...
