Here’s some nightmare fuel from the world of robotics: a robot arm with a six-fingered hand that can detach itself and crawl ...

Microsoft introduces Rho-alpha, an AI that understands human commands and controls two-armed robots with near-human precision.

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...

To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

Research videos aren’t known for their narrative arcs. Occasionally, however, you see one that keeps getting better the longer you watch. “Beyond Manual Dexterity” is one such video. It wows you in ...

Research could pave the way for a prosthetic hand and robot to be able to feel touch like a human hand. The technology could also be used to help restore lost functionality to patients after a stroke.

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...
