A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans. The hand could eventually be used as a ...

As electric vehicles continue to gain in popularity, one thing we'll have to deal with down the road is mounting piles of batteries that have reached the end of their lives. Casting their eye toward ...

Hands can grab things, build things, communicate, and we control them intuitively with nothing more than a thought. To those who miss a hand, a prosthesis can be a life-changing tool for carrying out ...

In October, a student presented a robotic hand made entirely from LEGOs at the 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. But Jared Lepora isn’t in ...

The Michigan State University (MSU) Surplus Store and Recycling Center located on the campus of MSU in East Lansing, Michigan, recently installed a robotic sorter to improve safety for its workers.

In a recent study scheduled to be presented at the RoboSoft Conference, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built a robotic hand capable of sensing touch ...

Oregon State University researchers have created an artificial environment that simulates apple trees to collect data on its robot hand, regardless of growing season. This fake apple is attached via a ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.
