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 ...

Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In a new study from the lab of Aaron Dollar, ...

A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...

Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects -- and not drop them -- using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its 'skin'.

By learning from human touch, robots can grip objects more safely and adapt to real-world conditions without massive training ...

Engineers have created an inflatable robot so nimble it can beat the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. What distinguishes Sochol's design is that it uses new fluidic circuits to control machines ...

In a recent International Conference on Robotics and Automation paper, [Shenli Yaun] and some others from Stanford discuss the design of a roller-based robot hand that has many features that mimic the ...
