Scientists have developed a robotic prosthetic hand that offers precision fingertip control. The ultra-light system offers shape-adaptive gripping through simple motion commands. Using an innovative ...

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique ...

An ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand has been developed that enables both precision fingertip control and shape-adaptive gripping through simple motion commands. The hand features an innovative ...

Mechanical hands with human-like fingers are more adaptable than the simple two-pronged clamps found on industrial robots, but they struggle to match their strength. Now a robotic hand with sticky ...

The robot was able to sew six stitches all on its own—and has lessons for robotics as a whole. An AI-trained surgical robot that can make a few stitches on its own is a small step toward systems that ...
